Bulls Drop in AAII Poll
Aug 21st, 2009
The American Association of Individual Investors released their weekly poll today. I’ve been very concerned that bullishness was getting too high as the last two readings were 50% & 51%. Anything over 50% makes me very nervous. The selloff Monday obviously had an immediate impact - bulls dropped to 34% and bears rose to 40%. Investors have been very reluctant to embrace this rally and the quick drop in sentiment shows they the late converts don’t have much conviction. As a committed contrarian, I have to see this as good news.
