KONTAN.CO.ID \u2013 JAKARTA. The Lunar New Year has ushered in the Year of\nthe Fire Horse. Investors are being advised not to make investment\ndecisions driven by Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) or the anxiety of missing\ntrends.<\/p>\n
Angelina Fang, Co-Founder of Feng Shui Consulting Indonesia,\nemphasised that the Year of the Fire Horse brings heightened emotional\nenergy, ranging from optimism and ambition to ego. \u201cIn the context of\ninvestment, this energy is often reflected in overly aggressive\ndecisions or the tendency to follow trends without careful\nconsideration,\u201d said Angelina in an official statement on Tuesday\n(17\/2\/2026).<\/p>\n
Angelina advised the public and investors not to invest simply\nbecause \u201ceveryone else is doing it.\u201d She urged them to understand the\nrisks, not just the potential returns, and to set targets and loss\nlimits from the outset to maintain discipline. In the Year of the Fire\nHorse, the ability to exercise self-control becomes a valuable\nasset.<\/p>\n
For business owners, the best investment lies in execution. For both\nbusiness proprietors and professionals, investment in 2026 is not always\nsynonymous with financial products. This year instead presents an ideal\nmoment to invest in things that strengthen business foundations, such as\nimproving operational efficiency, digitising work processes, and\nreinforcing teams, culture, and leadership.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth from a modern economic perspective and a Feng Shui standpoint,\n2026 is not about grand plans without follow-through, but rather about\ntangible results from consistent steps executed with discipline,\u201d\nAngelina explained.<\/p>\n
Christiaan Tuntono, Senior Economist at Allianz Global Investors,\nobserved that growth in the Asian economy for 2026 is expected to be\nselective. This means not all sectors or assets will rise\nsimultaneously.<\/p>\n
In line with the Fire Horse energy, investors are advised to choose\ninstruments or businesses with strong fundamentals, clear cash flows,\nand comprehensible business models.<\/p>\n
\u201cFocus on the technology and artificial intelligence (AI) sectors, as\nthe AI revolution will remain the primary driver throughout 2026, not\nonly among US technology giants but also in innovation hubs across Asia\nand Europe,\u201d said Christiaan.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/investment-tips-for-2026-avoid-fomo-based-investing-1771504276", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
