I am at the verge of ignoring all my financial wisdom and invest in riskier investments

[bettyraene]

Every day I am bombarded with news how certain stocks appreciated 100s% in a short time (e.g., Nvidia). And now, friends also started boasting how their investments (real-estate, options, day trading, stock picking, etc) yielding amazing returns. And here I am stuck with my boring ETFs. I am starting to second guess myself. Am I missing a great opportunity by limiting myself to exclusively to safe ETFs? What is a reasonable % if I want to take high-risk, 5/10/20/40% of the entire portfolio?

@nishan What is FOMO? Fear of missing out for anyone else not knowing
