This index takes various quantitative factors into account\u2014such as stock price momentum, demand for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/junk-rated-bonds\/\">junk bonds<\/a>, and returns for treasury bonds\u2014to provide an estimate of how greedy or fearful the average US stock market investor is at any one point.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, when the economy is thriving and profits are high, investors are more likely to be flush with cash. Because of readily available credit, some may even <em>borrow <\/em>money to invest, convinced that borrowing money represents a path to outsized returns. In this environment, greed runs rampant as investors mistakenly think they\u2019re guaranteed to earn money through aggressive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/best-investment-strategies\/\">investing strategies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: At the height of investing greed, some even commit financial crimes to earn more money, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-wolf-of-wall-street-in-real-life\/\">Stratton Oakmont<\/a> cofounder Jordan Belfort did. In his memoir, <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-wolf-of-wall-street\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Wolf of Wall Street<\/em><\/a>, Belfort explains how he committed fraud via stock price manipulation. He writes that, through many proxies, he and his fellow stockbrokers <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-wolf-of-wall-street\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">illegally bought up controlling interest in companies during their initial public offering<\/a> (IPO) so that he could bid the price up and artificially inflate it. Then, they sold the stocks to wealthy investors, pocketing the profits before the stock price inevitably cooled.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, according to Marks, this greed can\u2019t last forever. On the contrary, he suggests that some investors will eventually be deterred from investing upon realizing how greed has led to risky, speculative investments. As this contrarian view becomes more common, <em>fear <\/em>eventually infiltrates the securities market. In turn, this fear can influence the foundational cycles\u2014lenders might become reluctant to issue credit, for example, leading to slowed economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Investing experts point out that one way to mitigate fear involves <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebalancemoney.com\/8-steps-to-overcome-investment-fear-4101564\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">starting with smaller investments<\/a> before working your way up to larger sums. Because fear is proportional to how much money you could lose\u2014and therefore how much money you have invested\u2014slowly increasing your portfolio can help you handle incrementally more fear.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why are greed and fear the two most impactful emotions in the stock market?
