An interesting thought. Fear these days, though some greed is up and coming, but fear the fear. Efficient markets = no bonuses. PS I work in subprime mortgage, not all the time but a lot. FEAR. A little old, but an interesting subject.

An interesting thought. Fear these days, though some greed is up and coming, but fear the fear.

Efficient markets = no bonuses.

PS I work in subprime mortgage, not all the time but a lot. FEAR.

It really does tend to confirm your comment about the market being driven mostly from fear and greed. I stick to buying into equities when the market takes a fairly large dive and I don't usually sell equities at all. It IS fear that makes people sell when the market dives. Why would you sell your house when the price drops? Wouldn't you BUY when prices are low? I am no economist, but I can see how the market performs long term, and if you don't let fear or greed take over, you can ride out an economic downturn without losing anything if you have not invested all your money in one or two stocks.
