Stock Market

Not sure if anyone noticed but the stock market Fear & Greed Index, which is a gauge of the forces driving the stock market on CNN, lower number is fear driven, higher is greed driven , was a low 32 (fear) last week and is now sitting at 11 (extreme fear) which is the absolute lowest I've seen it in a long time.
For reference it was sitting at 49 (neutral) a year ago today.

With other major technology billionaires dumping Nvidia stock and multiple AI stocks currently being shorted by another billionaire and most of these guys just passing around the same bucket of cash to each other in B2B deals, it's muddy at best if anyone is actually showing any real profit from these ventures.
Nvidia currently has a $4 Trillion dollar market cap with P/E ratio of 52 is not inspiring confidence, among other issues at other companies, is not inspiring confidence with investors and looks a lot like the dot com bubble of 2000 but worse
