    I think only the people at the bottom take the survey... Interesting how the sentiment doesn't match the allocation on the AT. Oh, well...

    According to Ocean's list, it's 45.6% bulls (CSI), 52% bears (GF). Not too far off. I guess the people who vote neutral are either closet bulls or deer caught in the headlights.

    That is total tracker... How many of them use the SS or even manage their account? Top 50 is way more reflective of active TSP members than the total tracker (yes, I know it only shifts it by 5% or so). Even the Top 50 have a few B&H folks in it because the first quarter was so strong and they are still holding out for more gains.

    Just seems odd to have such a strong Bear feeling if the allocations don't match... Almost seems like the bears vote bearish and then allocate bullish hoping to game the system. Does AII have a bearish response... nope.

    Don't worry about it, I think I lost my train of thought and my brain hurts trying to understand all of this.

    Have a great day !!
