Sentiment

From BeSpoke Investment Group:  Bullish sentiment above 50% for 11th straight week.

The Investors Intelligence weekly survey of advisor sentiment showed that bullish sentiment declined modestly for the second straight week. Since its high of 58.8% in late December, bullish sentiment is currently at 55.5% and has now been above 50% for eleven straight weeks. The last time bullish sentiment was above 50% for eleven or more weeks was back in the Spring of 2007.

My thoughts:  This is just another example of how overbought the market is right now.  Keep in mind though that markets can stay overbought and oversold much longer than most investors expect.
