Chart of the Day
Today’s chart of the day was shared on Twitter by @MacroCharts. It’s a bar chart of the Nasdaq 100 index excluding today, with a daily sentiment indicator below. Sentiment was extremely bearish going into today, with a 9% bullish reading. We like this chart because it illustrates how sentiment at extremes can often serve as a contrarian indicator. Today was the second strongest day of 2019 for the Nasdaq with the index surging 2.70%. The chart echos the famous quote from Warren Buffet, “Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful.”
