Marc: "It is known that when a market turns bullish and bullish sentiment starts to rise that once it crosses above 50% this has often signaled an acceleration of buying as sideline money starts to pour in. I don't know if the same phenomena has occurred on the bear side but if it did one so inclined might say that this crossing to over 50% bearish will now signal accelerated selling in an ongoing bear market."

The individual investor is pretty much sitting still in equities at this point. But August is the first month since September 1990 that there have been net liquidations in domestic and international mutual funds of around $3.0b. As a way of comparison, investors put in an estimated $21.5b in stock funds in July. People are adding money to money market funds currently. This should create additional buying fuel at some point.
