Sentiment Surveys
AAII slight increase in the bullish camp and an 11% decrease in the bearish camp to bring both to 38% with 24% left over as neutral. That leaves us with no real edge, again.

Last month I mentioned in this sentiment overview that the AAII asset allocation to bonds was at a historic extreme (at 25% of the portfolio). The new AAII asset allocation for bonds is 17%, down 8% points, which is still a tad on the high end but no longer extreme. The equity allocation notched up slightly to 54% and cash to 29%.
