Street Notes

• Stocks climb and sentiment declines


• The crowd goes wild!


• Futures traders are still short the Nasdaq 100


• "Two sentiment indicators that point to still “scared” investors are the amount of money going into mutual funds that “bet” on a market decline. Over the past week, as the market jumps, money gets added to these funds, anticipating a decline. Finally, investors are still buying put options, again betting on a market decline. One option indicator we look at is actually below the level that was reached at the low in 2002. With sentiment at lows, any market pull back is not likely to be too deep." - Paul J. Nolte
