Investor Sentiment: Still Not There Yet

Investor Sentiment: Still Not There Yet

Even I am surprised.  The SP500 is down 9% in 9 weeks, and the bulls have yet to throw in the towel.  Usually, the perma-bull crowd starts biting their collective nails when the market has one down day, so after the recent schmeisting, I can only wonder what they must be thinking.  Apparently not much [...]

Gold: Bullish

Gold: Bullish

When we last looked at gold and the SPDR Gold Trust (symbol: GLD) I stated the following: “If GLD recaptures the 153.12 level, then it would be time to get long and strong.   My best advice: watch the price action around the 153.12 pivot and act accordingly.“

How Many Times Have We Heard That This is the Death of Bonds?

How Many Times Have We Heard That This is the Death of Bonds?

I know they don’t move much, but in these turbulent times, just getting your principal back from an investment is a winning proposition.  I have been bullish on bonds since March 30, 2012, and at the time, I suggested that this was an early sign of economic weakness, and on April 23 I wrote: “A [...]

Investor Sentiment: Mixed, Nowhere, and Without an Edge

Investor Sentiment: Mixed, Nowhere, and Without an Edge

Equity investor sentiment remains mixed.  The Rydex market timers (i.e., dumb money) remain excessively bullish, and this is a bear signal.  On the other hand, company insiders (i.e., smart money) are becoming more bullish, but the value is not yet extreme, which would be a bull signal.  The “dumb money” indicator is neutral.  I have [...]
