AAIi Sentiment Neutral -- 61% cash recommended for traders

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

It's the ONLY 
short-term 
timing indicator.

It recommends 
from 0% to 100% cash
in your trading portfolio

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

For the 
one week 
ending 
May 1, 2019:
39.0%  bulls  (33.5% last week)  (historical average is 38.2%)


21.3%  bears (20.2% last week)  (historical average is 30.3%)
