AAII Investor Sentiment Declines

Today we got a somewhat strange reading from the AAII Investor Sentiment Survey. Despite a generally bullish market environment,  bullish sentiment fell to 44.97% from 50.89% and bearish sentiment rose to 25.40% from 24.26%. The percentage of investors who described themselves as neutral on the stock market rose to 29.63% from 24.85%. I say the data is odd because when the market rises usually AAII bullish sentiment goes up as well, but we have not seen this happen. From a contrarian point of view you would have liked to seen bullish sentiment rise again to 55% in order to signal a top in the market. Looks like we may be nearing a top soon.

I will have the charts up in a few hours.

UPDATE: Here are the charts

  1. What other contractor can say they were involved in the design process of an all-electric service vehicle? Not many! Robichaud is a great example of a contractor on the cutting-edge of technology. He serves as an example to others to take a risk and test new technologies. google
