Warren Buffett's Best Rule for Surviving a Bear Market -- and Why It Works
It's never a bad idea to look to the Oracle of Omaha for investing wisdom.
Overview
While stocks keep churning higher and touching all-time highs, investors are becoming increasingly nervous about the bottom falling out.
A weekly poll of investors by the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) showed the highest bearish sentiment among investors in more than two months. AAII's investor sentiment poll for the week of Aug. 26 found that 44.4% of investors have a bearish outlook, compared with 32.9% who are bullish and 22.6% who are neutral. The bearish view is the highest since June 10, when it was 47.7%.
Details
The negative outlook is likely due to a confluence of factors, including inflation, declining consumer sentiment, and an historically high stock market valuation after an almost four-year bull market.
