like

* market momentum: S&P 500 and its 125-day moving average,
* stock price strength: Net new 52-week highs and lows on the NYSE
* stock price breadth (number of shares rising compared to number falling),
* put/call ratio,
* VIX,
* difference between stock and bond returns,
* yield spread between junk bonds vs. investment grade bonds

Fear and Growth Index - abbreviated FAGI

I thought, hmm, that is REALLY familiar, FAGI, something I've used a lot before, but when and where and what did it stand for?

Finally it occurred to me,
Federal Adjusted Gross Income

not to be confused with MAGI
Modified Adjusted Gross Income
