Paul, Low Risk is a poll of small speculators. Mostly amateur market timers. In general they are very exploitable. When this poll is excessive and agrees with some of my other sentiment work I consider it a set-up for a move. This was coincident (Tuesday) with other measures telling us to look long yesterday, for a multi-day rally. See my thoughts below. It's just one piece of the puzzle but it's a pretty good one, still.

I don't want to seem glib, but I only have time for a quick look at the article. It seems to support my feeling that such sentiment data isn't as reliable as what I'm already using. <shrug>

I've tried using that data before and it was tough for me to have confidence in my read.
