Hey, I got some long positions on Friday, but I still see many bulls on SI, many used to be a very good contrary indicators (some never turn bears)

Fwiw, the 8 week moving avg of AAII bullishness is ~ 30%. It has been lower at other significant mkt bottoms. Also, the Feb '03 mkt bottom saw 3 consecutive weeks < 23%, each week lower than the prev wk. (Weekly AAII numbers have seen the teens before...) Clearly we're testing the Nov bottoms, but we've all expected that. Forget all the 'sentiment polls' - they're just there to make fun of "the other side" - seems we're evenly split between those who expect the turn and those who expect a scarier bottom. Personally, I'd like to see a better washout - Nov didn't quite 'satisfy' me. Trade well.
