AAII Sentiment Neutral -- 46% cash recommended for traders

The Four-Week Average
of this contrary indicator,
is one of the seven 
ECONOMIC LOGIC
front page 
stock market
timing indicators 


It's the ONLY 
short-term 
timing indicator.

I prefer the four-week 
moving average
because it has
much less volatility
than weekly data

For  one  week  ending 
February 21, 2019:
39.3%  bulls  (35.1% last week)  (historical average is 38.2%)


25.4%  bears (25.1% last week)  (historical average is 30.3%)
= Neutral
( was Neutral last week )

60.7% of AAII investors 
with an opinion were bullish
( was 58.3% last week )


( 50% to 70% is Neutral )
( 40% to 49% is Moderately Bullish )



( under 40% is Bullish )

Four-Week  Average:

= Neutral
( was Neutral last week )

58.2% of AAII investors
