Good points, we overdo it on the sentiment front here. Sentiment measures are only useful when they hit extremes anyway. The IIA ams AAII are at extremes now and may be useful.

I believe the AAII sentiment cutoff date is yesterday...results are released today. See the footnote at the bottom of the latest chart I just posted.

IIA data is the more lagging one i believe, but i would be happy to stand corrected if that's not the case

fwiw I think there's an argument to be made between embracing, and being informed. If anything this thread has tried to embrace the value of objectivity first, i think.

and for that i'm grateful...thxs agn all

I do not use this thread for sentiment. You cannot. I think the majority of this thread is bearish. I use the analyst community, financial talk shows, radio shows and finally various threads. I never use this one to gauge sentiment.

To respond to other questions regarding the put call ratio. You can look at any of the months, June July, in almost any catagory and the o/i is much greater than calls. I would use that phenomenon as bearish.
