Yes, I stand corrected, I did switch greed by buyers, fear by sellers. On the issue of more buyers than sellers... I understand that at the end of the day buyers = sellers of closed transactions. Yes I accept that. However, when I say that there are more buyers than sellers I mean the following: At a moment in time, there are more people bidding for the same issue, than there are willing sellers. This creates a frenzie that bids prices up as supply is being eaten up. The intensity accelerates (because of this bidding up), and so prices go up. (faster or slower depends on that intensity originated by those buyers that are entering the market.) As prices reach points where sellers are met, then the up momentum begins to slow down, it is different in every situation. At the end of the day, yes for every buyer, there is a seller.
