Hannah Rogge, Financial Planning: Managing stock market fears
The stock market is often associated with fear. One major factor influencing the market is the collective mood of its investors, often described as a spectrum, ranging from extreme fear to extreme greed.

When investors are greedy, they drive stock prices upwards by paying more than stocks are worth, which can lead to stock market bubbles that eventually pop.
