The Changing Moods of the Stock Market

I devoted part of my university studies to understanding moods—what they are and how they change. Therefore, it’s not surprising that this topic also interests me in the context of the stock market.

I find it logical to track asset prices within specific segments (geographical or sectoral) in relation to how these segments generate earnings and their value. I compare this data with historical data within the same segment, data from other segments, and the entire stock market's performance.
