Investor Sentiment: I Have Said It All!
Ok, I have said enough. I have said it all. There is nothing else to say. To spare you the trouble of having to waste your time reading and to spare me the embarrassment, there will be no comments this week. Just graphs. As expected, the sentiment picture has changed little from last week. Go bulls!!!

Anywayyyyyyyyyyy.......back to the topic at had.
Excellent post!
The charts are a fabulous reminder that the dumb continue to get dumber and soon to come, will be seperated from the few ASSESTS THEY HAVE LEFT.
Meanwhile, the insiders, MNM, etc. have played this beautifully. They have almost completely sucked in "the entire crowd". Very unfortunate.
It will be interesting to hear the WH, GS & PPT when the collapse (1-4 weeks) comes. Lets ram "stimuli II" through congress again.
Thanks to Zero Hedge for providing all this information. Some of us, on the short side, have been making money in and out of the market for the last month or so. But the really big payoff is not far to come.
Again, thanks to ZERO HEDGE & CONTRIBUTORS!!!
Tech-Take, Excuse me for getting ON topic, but I had a question about "dumb money". There's about $3.25 billion sitting in money funds. Compared with the previous bear rallies is that significant? With the small investor getting more bullish, do you suppose there's enough cash and foolhardiness to drive this rally into 2010?
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Pump! Pump! Pump! Pump! Pump! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! (Pant!) Puff! Sell that Shit! Puff! Puff! CONFIDENCE, everyone! Puff! Puff! Pump! Pump! Move that Merchandise! Puff! Puff! Greed! Chase those Returns! Puff! Puff!.............
What was censored. Argh. Can't we just flag the person as an idiot and move on.
Censorship is for tyrants, only prurient motives should be erased.
Bugger - I didn't get to see the racist rant.
That will happen more and more - now that TD/ZH has found itself in the crosshairs (re: the "Who is Tyler" smear article that comes up with some banned dude with a Russian name), you can expect round two within weeks - namely, the sudden appearance of all sorts of whackery.
Then there will be a bunch of screeching nutjobs claiming to have been wronged by TD/ZH/Marla's real identity.
Just enjoy it - you don't have to read the comments, after all.
Cheerio

That woman being compared to a piece of furniture was an insult to furniture!
So I guess they took it down. I never got to see it. It doesn't surprise me, though. Over the last few months, this site has kind of been taken over by the Drudge Report crowd. The crowd that still can't get over that Obama & the Democrats won the election(s) and are now (gasp) implementing their agenda and policies. Who would've thought it. The second I saw a post by Durben giving props to the Tea-Party sheep, I knew the party was just about over on this site. It was much, much better when you had no idea of the political leanings of the main contributors. Now it's starting to seep out; a decidedly right wing bent (surprise, surprise.) Don't get me wrong - I'm not too far left that I can't support a well-reasoned blog just because it's run by some right-wing wing-nuts. But, for instance, there was that one post a few weeks ago where a real cheap shot was taken at Barney Frank in re: his sexuality. Something along the lines of "... not liking words put in his mouth; other things, maybe. But not words." Funny, yeah I'll give you that. A little obvious. But funny, nonetheless. It's just that the minute you print something like that you not only lose a certain amount of credibility instantly, but - more importantly - you lose potential readers and supporters. Is it more important to you guys to take cheap shots @ one of the most powerful men in Washington for the sake of some cheap laughs, than it is to meet & try and best him on the battlefield of reason? The more you dumb it down, the more idiots you'll have posting nonsense like the post in question. Which, again, I didn't see. But I guess if it was bad enough to take down, it must've been fairly offensive. So keep it up with the nonsense - and you'll get quickly used to having to take down offensive posts by guys who would claim intellectual kinship with you.
Tea-party sheep! Right-wing wing-nuts! That's the best ya got? Why even bother?
And exactly who are these poweful men in Washington that you speak of? You can't be talking about the current clique of clowns from the bowels of ACORN could you? Well, let me know when they can stop the sun from rising, or the Earth from rotating on its axis. These pencil pushers will be lucky if they can survive the guillotine party of 2010. Here it is only a little more than 200 days since our glorious leaders inauguration and the peasants are chompin at the bit to storm the Bastille. Not lookin good my friend!
And, I hate to break your bubble there Einstien, but a phytoplankton could best the brainiac you've put forth as your champion jouster on the battlefield of reason. So far his reasoning ability and judgement couldn't power a 1 Watt bulb. The Gates affair should be proof enough.
Since you like handing out advice, I have a little of my own. If you don't like the comments on ZH, stop reading them. And if you don't like the crowd hanging out at ZH, stop crossing the street to stand on our street cornor.
CNBC, for you, is the place to be!
Or are you addicted to the rush of posting anonymously.
Vicelord, dude ... * McFly; hey McFly *knocks on his head* is anyone there?!?!?*
Vicelord, you are so clueless it is astounding. I was the second to tell that racist to go somewhere else, and I haven't voted Democrat in many years. Why don't you keep your comments confined to finance-related matters, like the rest of us. By the way, the racist didn't say whether he was Republican or Democrat, and even if he had, he could have been a troll trying to make the other side look bad. Don't be such a moron.
"Is it more important to you guys to take cheap shots @ one of the most powerful men in Washington for the sake of some cheap laughs, than it is to meet & try and best him on the battlefield of reason? "
- was this before or after Barney Frank compared that woman to talking to a piece of furniture?
Zero Hedge loses credibility every time these backward and ignorant comments are allowed to stand unchallenged by Tyler or Marla or whomever.
The only interpretation I can come up with is: racism and bigotry are just fine with the Zero Hedge creators.
Using your logic, leaving your comments could be interpretated that stupidity is just fine with the Zero Hedge creators.
yeh but we saw those graphs before and still the market went up. Why everybody is still thinking rationale when the facts are pointing to a broad and strong goverment interferrence?and not only here,but all over the world. Did everybody forget that the rally took place after the G8(or whatever number)meeting in London?dosn't that happen to be the center for hedge funds?did everybody forget the comment by Angela merckel in her campaign about bankrs?she must have been forced to do somthing that Germans don't like to do. And that is pumping liquidity into the system(which came as a surprise to me). It is an all over the world effort by central bankers.
A sign might be warranted,......racist can't see.
I didn't know that we had to post a sign on the front door that only adults come here.
