The panic pendulum continues to turn towards Fear, when will you buy? Has the more hawkish FED setting for 2022 made a case for bear markets or will an overreaction including an overdue correction follow?
I'm betting on the latter and will unwind my hedges once the market shows a bottom.
I guess almost everybody knows the well-known saying of Warren Buffett: "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful."
If you look at the past, this statement is definitely true (see Figure 2.) and especially in major fear phases, buying is disproportionately worthwhile.
However, this is just another indicator that I sometimes look at in stocks, nevertheless, you should not give it a high weighting.
I find the indicator very interesting to find out a general market sentiment.
