Fear and greed in the stock market
'Fear and greed' play an important role in the stock market. So keeping an eye on the fear and greed cycle is a smart thing to do.
Hi , my name is Frans. I'm in my mid-forties. Next to my daily work , I run StockMarketMoodToday.com. This is a personal website with a 100 % focus on stock market mood and stock market sentiment.
At Stock Market Mood Today you can follow up on an unique sentiment indicator I created myself :
the © Graham Mood Index. This index is an indicator for market sentiment.
It all started when I red about Benjamin Graham ( 1894 - 1976) who had a knack for condensing big ideas into a few simple sentences. 'Market Mood' is one of his big ideas : Graham uses the allegory of ‘Mister Market’ to explain the stock market mood.
I was wondering how to gauge Mr Market's mood on a day to day basis. So I constructed a market mood model.
The outcome of the model is a number that fluctuates between 1 and 99 : © The Graham Mood Index.
Follow up on the Graham Mood Index at least 3 months and you 'll start to see the impact of sentiment and mood in the stock markets.
StockMarketMoodToday.com is a free website dedicated to help investors and traders analyze the stock market from a sentiment perspective.
I want to use sentiment analysis in my decision making. By way of example , I show you 2 strategies :
- Strategy 1 : 30 % upside potential stocks
- Strategy 2 : Trading from the gut
You can find both strategies on this site.
I hope sentiment analysis will serve you well in all your investing decisions.
