Can't disagree with that but must note Fear and Greed can go to single digits and today it turned down with the market so...tomorrow, like everyday, will tell a tale....

just as a flip side .....
Powell has always taken things slow and has been behind the curve .... so there is a chance where the market runs up to Jackson Hole and then crashes as a .25 cut is promised - but a full blown rate cut cycle is ruled out

If the AAII survey = "sentiment", then sentiment over the past 3 weeks has been about as low as it ever gets. It has been this low during 81 other weeks over the past 30 years. The S&P rallied over the next 3 months after 77 of them.

All the data I post or look over means nothing to my daily trend trading system Cheif. Look at the chart below ( when the index is above the 13 EMA - long, below cash) I Trade VXF at Vanguard and the trades are Free.... I can move in and out of that index whenever my system tells me too. Sure, I get a few whipsaws, but BT it for yourself and you can see how my returns will be far better then anyone that is doing a buy and hold method........ VST trading is much different.... There are times I wait or maybe buy a tad early based on a few other indicators from Sentiment Trader. However, they must be extremes.
Good Trading!
Look at the data on the chart for VXF.... because that's what I trade. It's about the same as the TSP S Fund....
Have a nice weekend and I'm glad Bulls and Bears can't fly since you are always watching the sky......

Try a BT on the VXF monthly since you are a LT investor. It will out perform any buy and hold system, and the trades are free. Trend traders don't ride down 20% moves like buy and hold folks do.

Some trending trading comments for those that are interested.

Buy-And-Hold?
It Works If You Have 40 Years Or So
In business schools, the buy-and-hold strategy is still viewed by the majority as the most viable investing strategy for the financial markets.
It is hard to change old beliefs. I often wonder if those who teach such strategies have their own money invested according to their teachings.
"Buy-And-Hold" In The Last 19 Years
An investor buying the S&P 500 Index 19 years ago, would have endured two horrific bear markets. Both of which cut the major indexes by 50%. Twice!
Is this what you want?
Had you caught the major part of each bear market while in bear funds, and the major part of each bull market while in bull funds, you would be ahead over 600%.
This is what we did at Fibtimer and because we have been online since 1996, we have the realtime trading statistics to prove it.
"Buy-And-Hold" In The 90s
Most people invested using the buy-and-hold strategy in the 1990s, and as we all know, they lost a bundle when the dot-com bubble burst and the 2000-2002 bear market began with losses of 50% to 80%.
After several years, investors finally began to feel better about the financial markets when in 2007-2008 the major indexes took another 50% hit.
If stock prices are based on the fundamentals of the companies they represent, how could such losses occur?
