Bull Sentiment Through the Roof

Investors have officially become convinced that stocks do not decline.  Sentiment readings are literally off the charts this week with the AAII small investor bullish sentiment survey surging 9% to 57.6%.  Thatâ??s the highest reading since January 2007.  Charles Rotblut of AAII is reporting that 60% would be a two standard deviation event.

This weekâ??s Investorâ??s Intelligence survey also saw a large increase in bullishness to 48.6%.   This is the highest reading since May 6th, but is also 8 points shy of the high recorded on April 28th.

Rally â??round the family, with a pocket full of shells.

Holy crap man. This is the most confounding market I have ever seen.

You can have unprecedented sentiment levels, major break-downs in risk assets like junk bonds and munis (again, check out JNK, HYG, VKQ, LQD, etc.), break-downs in the Euro below critical 1.36 support, a tech bellwhether like CSCO blow guidance, EU contagion at levels that pry exceed where they were in April, and a US equity market that is nearly 100% impervious to all of it.

They say the tape doesnâ??t lie but something is not right here.

Buy the dip my man. Thatâ??s the motto. It works until it breaks.

POMO for 17 of the next 19 days

Theyâ??ll be a non-event by middle of next week. They would have been smarter to spread them out. Instead of taking little bites of the cake they are just throwing it in their face and diluting the effect.

actually last time when the sentiment hits 57% in Jan 2007, the market continued to go upâ?¦.

Who wants to bet we close positive today?

That because with the election results, the â??little guyâ? thinks there might be hope after all and is feeling positive.
