What the Fear and Greed Index is

A reading from 0 to 100 of how fearful or greedy investors are: 0 to 25 is extreme fear, 25 to 45 fear, 45 to 55 neutral, 55 to 75 greed and 75 to 100 extreme greed. It reads seven measures of the US stock market (momentum, how near sectors are to their highs, how many are rising, what investors pay for protection, the appetite for junk bonds, how jumpy the market is, and stocks against government bonds) each against its usual range, and averages them. It is our own index, worked out from market prices.

Extremes tend not to last: markets have often turned after extreme fear or extreme greed, but not always and not at once. It describes the mood; it is not a signal to buy or sell, and nothing here is investment advice.
