The Cycle of Stock Market Emotions

Based on the reduced number of posts being experienced here on Wazua, it may be that the emotions of wazuans who have their money in the stock market have started on the slippery path of fear headed to despondency via desperation and panic. And there is no shortage of panic peddlers in these parts. So allow me to be the bright spot on a cloudy day by telling those who are fearful that all this is nothing new in the world of stock investing. It is a cycle that is as old as the hills. And the best part is that at the bottom of that valley lies the point of maximum opportunity. So how about this for a chart that every wazuan can understand. The other charts zina wenyewe!  Invest at the point of maximum pessimism.

@bengraham, let me join the panic peddlers. The global bond markets are starting the bubble burst. The bond yields have been going up in the month of May so the bond prices are going south. "The question is what happens to the rest of the financial system if there's a huge correction in the bond market when the Federal Reserve finally raises rates, especially given concerns about liquidity in fixed income."

@mkonomtupu. I hear you. However, lets look at stock investing for the ordinary wazuan who has neither the inclination nor the ability to keep track of global bond prices, quantitative easing and other such manenos. When they read the posts on wazua on imepnding bears and the like, they wonder what they should be doing to avoid losing money. Hence the anxiety and despondency. What should they sell? When? When should the board again? So my post was to assure such investors that they dont need to do anything as the market is just doing what it has done for ages, go up and down. For the wazuans who are comfortable trading in and out based on their technical analysis, then of course this doesnt apply to you. Quoting Warren Buffet "In the 20th century, the United States endured two world wars and other traumatic and expensive military conflicts; the Depression; a dozen or so recessions and financial panics; oil shocks; a flu epidemic; and the resignation of a disgraced president. Yet the Dow rose from 66 to 11,497." Even the US market recovered from the 2008 rock bottom crash. So whats a little bear for a long term investor wazuan? Invest at the point of maximum pessimism.

 Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
