>What is the CNN Business Fear & Greed Index?
>The Fear & Greed Index is a way to gauge stock market movements and whether stocks are fairly priced. The theory is based on the logic that excessive fear tends to drive down share prices, and too much greed tends to have the opposite effect.
>How to use Fear & Greed Index?
>The Fear & Greed Index is used to gauge the mood of the market.

This isn’t an article about how the US economy runs on greed it’s a (imo) really funny scale
