AAII Sentiment remains Bullish -- 0 % cash (no cash) recommended for traders

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

It's the ONLY short-term indicator.

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

For the week ending 
May 20, 2020:
29.0%  bulls  (23.3% last week) 
    (historical average is 38.5%)
45.0%  bears (50.6% last week) 
    (historical average is 30.5%)
= Bullish
( was Bullish last week )
39.2% of AAII investors were bullish
( was 31.5% last week )


Four  Week  Moving  Average
= Bullish
( was Bullish last week )
= 35.7% of AAII investors were bullish 
( was 34.2% last week )


Recommended  
portfolio  
cash percentage 
for  stock  traders 
= 0% cash
( was 0% cash last week )



The EL Back-to-Basics
long term portfolio
actual  cash  position: 
= 90% cash  
( was 90% cash last week )


Notes: 
This contrary indicator is bearish (red "ink") 
when individual AAII investors are bullish. 

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

( I ignore all the “neutral” votes ).



Indicator Analysis:
   (  over 80% is Bearish )
( 71% to 80% is Moderately Bearish )
( 50% to 70% is Neutral )
( 40% to 49% is Moderately Bullish ) 
  ( under 40% is Bullish )


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

Active traders may prefer weekly data.
