Hi Bonnie; Like they say it's not scientific, had they run this survey several times ( same questions ) and we saw some change in opinions it may be useful. As it is there is no way to say what any of it means, or to let it influence my thinking in any way..I blew it off. By it's nature its doubtful that the sample group represents anything like main stream thinking; news pundits grab at any thing to print, and they don't seem to ask them self if it's really informative or not, they just conclude it is. Here is a list of Sml Cap funds I track. Best gainers of the Cap sectors ( as a group) but some of them I don't care for individually.
