Warren Buffett’s fear and greed can been seen in this bear market statistic

Margin debt can be considered a simple indicator of potential supply and demand for stocks (when borrowing is low, there is great potential demand and vice versa), and this should have you worried about another bear market – and the statistics bear this out.
When margin debt has reached relative extremes, it has been a very good indicator of, in the words of Warren Buffett, broad investor, “fear and greed.”
In other words, based solely on this one measure, buying stocks today presents investors with a great deal of risk for very little potential reward.
