INVESTORS MAINTAIN BULLISH OUTLOOK ON MARKETS
DESPITE DIFFICULT ECONOMY
SARASOTA, FL, May 13, 2008 – MoneyShow.com, the largest multimedia investment education
destination for investors, traders, and financial advisors officially announced the results of the
Investors’ Sentiment Indicator yesterday at The Money Show Las Vegas. Despite a majority of
Americans believing we are in a recession, the survey revealed that 56% of investors are leaning
toward a bullish sentiment for the S&P 500 for the remainder of 2008. Most bullish investors seem
somewhat confident about the markets with 43% indicating that the S&P 500 will rise less than 10%
for the remainder of the year, and 13% stating that the S&P would rise 10% or more.
Investors remain divided over expectations for US economic growth, with 43% of investors
surveyed anticipating an increase, and another 39% predicting a decrease in GDP growth for the rest
of 2008. One of the biggest increases since last September is how investors feel which asset class will
perform the best, with 42% anticipating commodities to perform the strongest (up by 25%). The
sentiment on large-cap US stocks, small-cap US stocks, and foreign stocks all decreased slightly.
The MoneyShow.com Investors’ Sentiment Indicator polled 492 private investors from its member
list between May 2 and May 10, 2008. The complete findings of the Investors’ Sentiment Indicator
will be available on the Investors channel on MoneyShow.com. The site will commission several
other indicators throughout the year among high-net-worth individual investors, active traders, and
investment experts that will be announced in conjunction with its various trade shows and made
available on MoneyShow.com.
