Time to check back in on blogger sentiment as we head into the new trading week. I am getting my information from Ticker Sense, which publishes its weekly Blogger Sentiment Poll. This week has taken a decidedly bearish turn. As you can see by following the link above, the caption notes that the week's results are divided, but there are more bears than bulls. Statistically, the bloggers polled are split, but the new numbers reveal a bit more bearish tilt than the words indicate.
Last week, 33.33% of the bloggers polled held a bearish view. This is starkly different this afternoon, as 45.45% of the bloggers polled are bearish. As for bullish bloggers, the number dropped from 42.86% to 36.36%, a rather large move. Yes, the results are split, but I get a much more bearish feeling from the results than is expressed in the original post.
