AAII has an excel spreadsheet of their sentiment survey that goes all the way back to 1987. Last week was the highest bearish sentiment week they've ever had at 60.87%!
In 2000 the highest bear sentiment it ever got was 51.1%.
In the week ending 10/9/08 it peaked at 60.84%. The US100 jumped 15% the next week, but the bottom was a month later, 11/20/2008. Then it chopped sideways +/-20% until making a double bottom 3/9/2009.
If this is anything to go by, we're in for some of the highest volatility yet; but a bottom should be nearing. Keep your eyes open, be nimble and stay frosty!
