Today's Market Sentiment
The Fear & Greed Index compresses the mood of the entire market into one 0-100 score. It's free, automatically refreshed, and available here without an account. The underlying market and crypto data may be delayed; each module identifies its source and timing.
- Delayed crypto volume data from CoinGecko, updated automatically.
- Delayed index data from Yahoo Finance, updated automatically.
Crypto index from alternative.me. Stock gauge is Swoopr Investment's own proxy (VIX level + S&P 500 vs its 125-day average), not CNN's Fear & Greed Index. Index and crypto quotes are delayed market data from Yahoo Finance and CoinGecko, refreshed automatically. Sentiment scores and quotes are informational only and are not investment advice.
Today's Market Volatility
The VIX measures the market's expectation of near-term volatility implied by S&P 500 option prices. A higher VIX generally reflects higher option-implied expected volatility. Labels such as "calm" or "elevated" are descriptive shortcuts based on historical ranges and can vary across market regimes. A VIX reading does not indicate whether stocks will rise or fall.

-
1. Learn It

-
2. Research It
The Research Workbench provides frameworks, checklists, source hierarchies, and methodologies for evaluating specific investments. Tells you what to verify, where to find it, and how to weigh it.
-
3. Model It
137 calculators and simulators: position sizing, valuation, portfolio optimization, options analysis, Monte Carlo paths, scenario matrices, ETF cost comparisons, and more. Every tool shows its math and assumptions.
-
4. Stress-Test It
The Portfolio Review Center applies structured stress scenarios, correlation analysis, and risk scoring to a portfolio position or decision before it's made. Not personalized advice: structured analytical pressure.
-
Swoopr Academy
12 structured courses across fundamental analysis, technical analysis, options, crypto risk, and portfolio management. Designed to build usable frameworks, not just awareness of terms.

A Growing Investment Education and Research Library
Swoopr Investment brings educational guides, glossary definitions, interactive tools, reference pages, research workflows, and market-learning resources into one connected library. The totals shown here are generated from Swoopr's current published content inventory so the counts stay consistent as the library changes.
Use Learn Investments for broad investing, accounts, portfolio construction, retirement, funds, bonds, real estate, commodities, taxes, and risk. Move into Learn Stocks for equity-specific research and market mechanics, or Learn Crypto for digital-asset mechanics, custody, tokenomics, DeFi, on-chain analysis, and security.
The goal is not to publish the largest possible number of pages. Each resource should answer a distinct question, support a useful research task, explain an important concept, or connect the reader to the next appropriate step.

What Is Swoopr Investment?
Swoopr Investment is an independent investment education, research, and tools platform that helps people understand markets, evaluate investment opportunities, manage risk, and make smarter financial decisions across stocks, crypto, retirement, ETFs, real estate, and other investment types. The free public library and tools need no account; the invite-only Swoopr Investment Dashboard is a separate capability for strategy execution, trade tracking, and portfolio risk management.
You don't need an account to use the market ticker, the Fear & Greed index, the calculators, or any page in the education library, all of it is free and public. The authenticated dashboard adds automated strategy execution, manual trade tracking, portfolio risk scoring, and rebalancing tools, and is currently invite-only while in closed alpha.
Learn Investing by Starting With the Question
You don't need to know the correct financial term before you begin. Start with what you're trying to understand.
Start broad, then go deep. Learn Investments connects asset classes, accounts, portfolio decisions, taxes, risk, and research. When a topic becomes stock-specific or crypto-specific, Swoopr routes you into the dedicated Learn Stocks or Learn Crypto library rather than duplicating the same guide in multiple places.
