Where's the Bulls?

Even QE3 can't coax many of our TSPers out of cash and bonds as the Total Tracker shows we dropped our collective stock allocations a bit more. The Top 50 however, did increase their stock exposure. Here's the charts:

The Top 50 increased their stock exposure going into the new week from 57.96% to a total of 63.8%. That's a total increase week over week of 5.84%. Last week, the Top 50 had a big shift in bullishness and the market rewarded those who took that risk with some very nice gains.

The Total Tracker showed we dropped our total stock exposure by a modest 0.65%. That's not much, but total stock exposure for this group is only 34.96%, and you can't pull back what's already been pulled back.

Our sentiment survey remained on a buy once again and we have QE3 at work as well, which would seem to significantly favor the bulls. But I would not be surprised to see some selling pressure sometime this week to keep the bulls honest and keep the bears in the game.
 
I think most are still trying to digest QE3's effects and deciding what to do. Monday (or your post next week) will probably tell a more realistic status of their thoughts on the new market paradigm.
 
A lot of $$ on the sidelines.

The "smart $$" is trending over...with this next dip comes a good buying opportunity, maybe as early as Tomorrow morning....but possibly better at the 20 day EMA.

No matter what your political leanings are...remember the immortal words of Jim Cramer: "DON'T FIGHT THE FED".
