Not surprisingly, small business owners are anything but optimistic about the current environment. The NFIB Small Business Optimism Index fell 5.5 points to 90.9 in April.
A Dreadful Employment Report
Much was written about Friday's employment report, yet the the S&P 500 Index rose 1.69% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.91% on the day. Total civilian employment from the household survey fell by over 22 million-a staggering decline.

Not too surprising that the individual investor sentiment as reported by the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) this week continues to deteriorate.

It is not surprising company earnings revisions have been mostly downside revisions with most of the country/consumers sitting at home.
The Current Market Like 1987 Or 2008/2009?
Investors are entering peak earnings season, and with futures down this morning, it seems investors may be facing a "buy the rumor, sell the news" type of market. The crash in oil prices is adding to the negative market sentiment.
Equity Markets Defy Emotions
From February 19 to March 23 the S&P 500 Index went from trading at a record high to being down 30.75% for the year, all in the span of 23 trading days.
Retest The Low Or Onto New Highs?
Of course, March 23 is not even a month in the rear-view mirror, but the S&P 500 Index is up over 23% since the low on that date.
Spring 2020 Investor Letter: The Bears Woke Up
The first quarter was an unprecedented one as the S&P 500 Index decline was the fastest 30%+ sell-off ever. The market ultimately fell 33.9% from February 19 to its low on March 23, just 23 trading days.
NFIB Survey: Small Business Survival At Risk
The Optimism Index fell 8.1 points to 96.4, the largest decline in the survey's history. It should be noted most of the survey responses were obtained in the first half of March.
Individual Investor Bullish Sentiment Surprisingly Not So Low
When the S&P 500 Index is down 33.9% in 23 trading days, I would expect individual investors to become extremely bearish on equities, at least that has been the case historically.
Market Volatility May Create Opportunity
Given the magnitude of the recent market decline and the short time frame over which it occurred we believe investors have the opportunity to evaluate their current portfolio positioning.
Are We There Yet?
Some are equating the current market decline to the equity market decline that occurred in October 1987.
