Fear and greed: The two main emotions guiding markets.
In the past three years we have not had such high readings that often.
Fear and greed impact us in a powerful way.
I personally look at the below chart and see a heartbeat.
Currently FOMO and greed are dominating.

We humans are gregarious animals.
We let ourselves be influenced all too often.
Markets reflect nothing else than the aggregated sum of individual behaviors.
And as our emotions, markets can get messy at times.

My father used to say:
Some people are wise.
Some are otherwise.
When looking at people and markets:
Learn to read them, learn to understand how they work.
Understand fear and greed!
Master the art of not shitting your pants in real time.

Understand how markets work.
Understand what drives collective behaviour.
FEAR…
It helped us with surviving.
Protected us from sabre tooth tigers.
It keeps us from pushing onwards.
It creates comfort zones.
It holds us back.

GREED...
Being ambitious is good!
Wanting to get somewhere in life is great!
Wanting to learn, achieve or grow is normal!
Economic activity depends on the profit motive.
On a personal level we all know what greed can do.
Learn to control your greed!
