When feelings make prices do weird things

Stock prices don’t move on facts alone. They move on feelings. Fear, greed, excitement or doubt. The market’s mood shifts momentum faster than most earnings reports.

  2. How fear, greed and herd mentality create price swings that have little to do with business reality
  3. When market mood becomes an actual trading signal and when it is just noise waiting to fade again
