Record High In Bullish Sentiment
Posted on February 10, 2012

On Monday, traders in the Rydex family of mutual funds reached a near-record level of bullishness.

The chart below shows the Bull Ratio for all the index funds. This is the total assets in the long funds for the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, DJIA and Russell 2000 divided by the assets in the inverse funds for those same indexes.



As of Monday, there was $4 invested in the long funds for every $1 invested in the inverse funds. The only other time since 2004 that matched this level was May 2, 2011.

As of Wednesday, total assets invested in the inverse funds at the Rydex family fell to $291 million. That ties it for the lowest all-time, along with January 30, 2001 and May 2, 2011. Both dates were good times to own those funds.
