I had to let this week's Survey go a little long this week because it was so close between a sell signal (2.0 to 1) and a neutral reading, which would keep it on a buy signal. (< 2.0 to 1).

On Thursday night I was seeing 57.59% bulls, 29.23% bears, which is officially a neutral signal at 1.97 to 1, but if you round the percentages to 58% / 29%, it is a sell signal at 2.0 to 1. It was too close to call on Thursday night.

By Friday morning it was becoming more apparent that we were not going to get over 2 to 1, and we ended at 1.93 to for the neutral reading.
