This is in-line with our PAR Model 6-month SPY forecast research. AAII Investor sentiment is just one of the 22 factors in our model though. The model turned positive in June, with a 3.1% expected return, and was confirmed with our recently published end-of-July report, forecasting 3.8% return. Our Valuation and Economic factors were net positive contributors and Market factors were a net negative. all the details here: http://bit.ly/M62uWS

Isn't the AAII surver often thought of as a Contrarian indicator? When all the small investors who subscribe to the service turn bullish, that is usually the time to start bailing out of the market.
