Advisory Service Sentiment: There were 53.3% Bulls versus 18.9% Bears as of 2/23/11, according to the weekly Investors Intelligence survey of stock market newsletter advisors. The Bull/Bear ratio stands at 2.82, nearly 1.5 standard deviations above the 20-year mean. The 20-year range is 0.41 to 3.74, the median is 1.55, and the mean is 1.63.
VIX Fear Index rose further above the highs of the previous 2 months to 23.22 on 2/23/11, reflecting a shift toward fear or bearish sentiment among options players.

The Dow Theory reconfirmed a Primary Tide Bull Market as of 2/17/11, when both the Dow-Jones Industrial Average and the Dow-Jones Transportation Average closed above closing price highs of the previous 2-years. The Dow Theory originally signaled the current Primary Tide Bull Market on 7/23/09, when both the Dow-Jones Industrial Average and the Dow-Jones Transportation Average closed above their closing price highs of the previous 6 months. While other Dow Theorists were fooled by the big downside Secondary Reaction in May and June 2010 and called a “Bear Market”, my interpretation of the Dow Theory has been steadily Bullish on the Primary Tide Trend every day since 7/23/09.
S&P 500 Composite (SPX, 1,307.40) fell 0.61% and broke the lows of the previous 11 trading days, thereby confirming a correction or shakeout for the short term.

Last Friday, 2/18/11, SPX rose above the highs of the previous 2-years, which reconfirmed its preexisting Bullish Primary Tide Trend for the long term.
