AAII Sentiment Bullish for second week in a row -- 0% cash, 100% stocks recommended for traders


This contrary indicator 
is bearish (red) 
when individual investors 
are bullish. 

This contrary indicator 
is bullish (green) 
when individual investors 
are bearish.

( I ignore all the “neutral” votes )

The Four-Week Average
is one of the seven 
ECONOMIC LOGIC
stock market 
timing indicators.

It is the ONLY 

short-term 
timing indicator,
and should 
be useful 
for traders.

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



For the week ending 
January 2, 2019:
33.0%  bulls  (31.5% last week)  (historical average is 38.5%)

42.8%  bears (50.3% last week)  (historical average is 30.5%)
Moderately Bullish
( was Bullish last week )
43.5% of AAII investors 
with an opinion were bullish
( was 38.5% last week )
   

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



( under 40% is Bullish )





Four-Week  Average:
= Bullish
( was Bullish last week )
36.6% of AAII investors 
with an opinion are bullis
( was 39.5% last week )


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



( under 40% is Bullish )







Recommended 
portfolio
cash position:
= 0% cash
( was 0% cash last week )







    The  EL  

Back-to-Basics
  Portfolio  

actual  cash  position: 

= 75% cash  
( was 76% cash last week )





Note: 

I score this weekly 
short-term 
stock market 
indicator
to recommend from
0% cash (most bullish), to
100% cash (most bearish).
