AAII Sentiment remains Moderately Bullish -- only 3% 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 
April 29, 2020:
30.6%  bulls  (24.9% last week) 
    (historical average is 38.5%)
44.0%  bears (50.0% last week) 
    (historical average is 30.5%)
= Moderately Bullish
( was Bullish last week )
41.0% of AAII investors were bullish
( was 33.2% last week )


Four  Week  Moving  Average
= Moderately Bullish
( was Moderately Bullish last week )
= 41.1% of AAII investors were bullish 
( was 41.0% last week )


Recommended  
portfolio  
cash percentage 
for  stock  traders 
= 3% cash
( was 3% cash last week )



The EL Back-to-Basics
long term portfolio
actual  cash  position: 
= 90% cash  
( was 90% cash lasst week, and 10% SVXY )


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.
