Isn T: Investors and Wall Street

isn t: As of Thursday, only 29.51% of retail investors were bullish, according to Market Watch. This is the sixth consecutive reading below 30%, and the sixth consecutive week with more bearish than bullish investors. There's a party on Wall Street, but investors are sulking at home. Not even during the worst of times in 2008 and 2009 did stock market bears outnumber bulls for such a long stretch. In fact, there's never before been a time in the 21st century where AAII bears outnumber bulls when the S&P 500 is at an all-time high. Unlike 2008 or 2009, the S&P 500 index SPX, -0.13% is trading around its all-time high and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.13% isn't far behind. (news.financializer.com).
