We're Witnessing A Dangerous 'Evaporation Of Bears' In The Stock Market

The lack of bearishiness is cause for pause.

At 2,000, the S&P 500 is right near its all-time high. It’s up an earpopping 200% from its March 2009 low.

Some Wall Street strategists believe this bull market could go for years longer.

But some measures of sentiment suggest investors should be more cautious.

“Sentiment has reached an extreme as Bears according to Investors Intelligence fell to the lowest level since 1987,” said FBN Securities’ J.C. O’Hara. “The markets persistent grind higher is a constant pain for any bear. The few that remain are the classic perma-bears and adjusting for them we are near rock bottom for bears.”

Indeed, the unusually limited number of corrections and pullbacks has got everyone taking jabs at perma-bears like Albert Edwards, David Tice, and Marc Faber.

“% Bears down to 13.3%, lowest since Feb 1987,” tweeted Pension Partners’ Charlie Bilello. “Surprised it’s even that high, are they counting Faber twice?”

The trouble with the lack of bearishness is that there isn’t much keeping the bulls in check.

“The history of Sentiment reminds us that it’s more dangerous to have an evaporation of bears compared to a plethora of bulls,” said O’Hara.

Bilello tweeted the chart.

The survey that is most often quoted is the AAII survey, and it certainly isn't showing results like that. It is certainly on the bullish side, but there has been a sharp uptick in bearishness and downtick in bullishness over the past week.

Reading the articles on Seeking Alpha, it has been wall-to-wall bears recently, but I think that might just because they are being slashdotted and their editorial standards are slipping. The well-written articles haven't shown so much change.

The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.

Crashes occur when the credit cycle runs out of real capital to propel it and J6P notices he is being had!

We could get an instant crash if they upped interest rates, goldilocks has died and gone to heaven. :re:
The next trick of our glorious banks will be to charge us a fee for using net bank!!!
You are no longer customer, you are property!!!

Newjerk? can you try harder than dig up another person's blog. My first promo was with Billabong and my name in English is modified with a T, am Perth born but also lived in Sydney to make my $$
It's Absolutely Fabulous if it includes brilliant locations, & high calibre tenants..what more does one want? Understand the power of the two "P"" or be financially challenged
Even better when there is family who are property mad and one is born in some entitlements.....Understand that beautiful women are the exhibitionists we crave attention, whilst hot blooded men are the voyeurs ... A stunning woman can command and takes pleasure in being noticed. Seems not too many understand what it means to hold and own props and get threatened by those who do.
Banks are considered to be law abiding and & rather boring places yeah not true . A bank balance sheet will show capital is dwarfed by their liabilities this means when a portions of loans is falling its problems for the bank.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
