I consider the news or public perceptions as part of my investing strategy when picking stocks. It's not that they really hold a lot of weight on my decision but I want to gauge how people perceive them at the specific time period and forecast where it leads. Not everyone is a smart investor and even if the age old saying of being fearful when others are greedy has been proven true for history, it will be bound to repeat itself.

If I can't help joining in the fomo, I just toss some money I'd be willing to lose. At least this is a better alternative than having the money be gambled on a casino (not a financial advice). Though I rarely do such a thing since I stick to a trading plan.
