Fear, Greed, and The Market
In this Conscious Wealth Studio conversation, I sit down with Andrew Olsen to talk about what investor sentiment is telling us right now. Andrew walks through the Fear and Greed Index, how it is built, and what it captures across momentum, volatility, options activity, and credit markets. We place today’s reading in historical context, including moments like March 2020, and explore why sentiment often diverges from market prices. We also talk about money psychology, consumer confidence, and why markets can feel uncomfortable even when returns look strong on paper. As the year winds down we reflect on why so many outlooks cluster around average expectations, why predictions tend to sound alike, and why discipline and long term thinking matter more than reacting to short term signals. This conversation is for investors and founders who want perspective, clarity, and a steady framework for thinking about markets without getting pulled into noise.
