Stock Opinions by Gordon Reid
COMMENT
Believes market is moving entirely on sentiment right now (emotions and feelings).
July rally has faded and market is over selling (feels like a roller coaster).
US Federal Reserve comments in Jackson Hole created negative sentiment.
Investors should invest as if market is normal (accurate pricing of companies).
Extreme markets as of late are a function of emotions.
