Only 17% of Hedge Fund Managers Bullish on S&P 500 According to Survey
New York, NY – August 30, 2010 – Only 17% of hedge fund managers are bullish on the S&P 500, according to the TrimTabs/BarclayHedge Survey of Hedge Fund Managers for August. About 47% of the 104 hedge fund managers surveyed in the past week are bearish on stocks, up markedly from 33% in July.
“Bearish sentiment skipped sharply higher, and bullish sentiment plunged,” said Sol Waksman, founder and president of BarclayHedge. “Meanwhile, short interest is heaviest in the most cyclical sectors, and from a seasonality standpoint September is far and away the worst month of the year for stocks. The developments hedge fund managers are telegraphing bode ill for equities.”
