Extreme fear now

[indiajust]

fear/greed a short term indicator. Buffett indicator shows overpriced market relative to history and rest of world. Dalio still expecting currency decline as result of balance of trade and government debt acceleration.

my bet is short term chaos and long term inflation and reversion to the mean. But there are some growth areas that will beat the odds and succeed.

Don't you buy when things are on sale?

Well, people hold off on a 10% sale if they think a 50% liquidation sale is coming soon.

Then it depends when you get your weekly ad/sale papers, or anticipation of what's going on sale. Right now with Lent in full swing, seafood is on sale. As well as most of the market, regardless of sector, despite energy.

It has gotten to the even more extreme fear now -- reading of 13.

My portfolio is looking sickish.
