Extreme swings are only signals for bottom fishing or top selling; other times, watching this stuff is pointless.

The Fear and Greed Index is actually just an emotional game; the real profits are hidden on both ends of the swings.

The Fear & Greed Index is just a psychological game; when it's actually time to make money, you can't even see it.

I've always said that the Fear and Greed Index is the key to wealth. I started studying this logic three years ago, and it's a shame that those who only look at the surface still haven't realized it.

Fear & Greed is definitely something to keep an eye on, but to be honest, most people reading it are just wasting their time.

It's that index again. To be honest, I can't tell whether it's greed or fear just by looking at it right now.

The Fear and Greed Index essentially reflects human nature—swinging between two extremes—when the market starts to rise.

The Fear and Greed Index, to put it simply, shows what traders are thinking right now... The best waves to surf are when it swings between two extremes.
