American Association of Individual Investors Sentiment Survey   Watch For Extremes in Bullish and Bearish Sentiment - A Contrarian Indicator

View the percent of investors who are bullish and bearish, as reported by the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII). These figures are updated by AAII weekly (Thursdays), and are often used as contrarian indicators, e.g., view the spike in bearish sentiment early in 2009 just before the market advanced strongly. Similarly, see the spike in bullish sentiment twice in 2007, before the market tanked later in the year. We use a 2-standard deviation band to measure extreme values.Go Back Last 5 Years 10 Years 15 Years 20 Years
