With the Dow and S&P approaching new highs, conventional wisdom suggests investors would be becoming increasingly bullish. But, as measured by the AAII Index, bullish sentiment has declined to 28.6% from 46.9% three weeks ago. Bearish sentiment has increased to 54.6% from 29.6% during the same time period.AAII has proven a very solid contrarian indicator over time. With bullish sentiment so low, this most likely means this rally has some serious legs. As the rally continues, those who are under-invested will have to rush and chase performance.
