AAII Sentiment Survey: Pessimism At Lowest Level Since January 2012, Oct 24 2013Pessimism plunged to a 21-month low and optimism rose to a 10-month high in the latest AAII Sentiment Survey. Neutral sentiment rose.
This week's special question asked AAII members how, if at all, the latest federal budget agreement is influencing their six-month outlook for stocks.
Responses were mixed.
- The largest group of respondents (41%) said it was not influencing their outlook.
- Some of these members said they are more focused on corporate earnings and the economic backdrop or simply take a long-term view towards investing.
- Nearly 21% of respondents said they are cautious.
Concerns about another standoff occurring in January or February was the primary reason why, though some respondents also thought the latest agreement merely postponed the date for dealing with the debt reduction and other fiscal issues.
- Nearly 18% said they are bearish, with some fretting about a market pullback occurring in the first quarter and others frustrated with the lack of progress on fiscal issues.
- About 9% said they are now more optimistic.
