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.
