"Way too many nervous shorts for the markets"

Is that just an observation of this board or is it a more scientific survey?

I started a thread to see if any of the sources of investor sentiment have predictive value and I have only got a handful of data sources so far...

loaded with gold.. (think I'll make out ok there?? <gg>)

Message 17618543

unfortunetly covered alot of my shorts during last week slides, all for nice profits.. but still have a few...

Message 17595665

and remember.. the only 'nervous' short, is one sitting on serious profits ;).. all others, just pikers..

Israel.. ya shoulda stayed short like you were in Jan., would have been much easier to make a profit in this market rather than trading QQQ for 10 cent bounces..
