This Stock Market Metric Just Hit "Extreme Fear." Warren Buffett Has 11 Encouraging Words for Investors Right Now.
Yahoo Finance ·
Despite the market's multiple record-breaking highs over the last few months, many investors are growing concerned about potential volatility. The Fear and Greed Index is a compilation of seven market indicators and measures investor sentiment on a scale of 0 to 100. At the extremes, 75 and over is classified as "extreme greed," while 25 and under is considered "extreme fear." After peaking at 71 in early May, it sits at 25 as of this writing. While this does suggest that investors may be exercising more caution right now, it does not mean a market crash or recession is around the corner. No matter what may be coming, though, investing expert Warren Buffett can offer nervous investors some reassuring advice. Perhaps the most nerve-wracking aspect of the market is the uncertainty. Nobody knows when the next downturn will begin, how severe it might be, or how long it might last. For investors wondering what to do with their portfolios right now, all of those unknowns can be stressful.
