AAII Sentiment Results: NO MAN’S LAND – Part Trois!

I focus on the AAII sentiment indicator when it is at true extremes.  This week, the bullish sentiment moved back down to 33% from 37%.  This is a neutral rating (not optimistic or excessively pessimistic).  The Bearish Percent creeped up to 27% from 23% which is still pretty complacent until we see a move to the high 30s/low 40s.  So while there is no euphoria on the side of the bulls, there is also very little fear and still a decent amount of complacency- hence NO MAN’S land part Trois!
