July 17th Blogger Sentiment Poll

Here are the results from our second round of the Ticker Sense Blogger Sentiment Poll.  Below is a list of participating blogs; the number is up to 40 this time after 35 last week.  We are receiving a lot of nice emails from bloggers requesting inclusion in the poll, as well as quite a few recommendations in the comments on our website, so expect more expansion next week after we are able to review all of those blogs. 

As you can see, a great deal of our respondents "got off the fence" as the number of neutral responses dropped sharply.  This was no doubt a reaction to the lackluster reception for the large number of neutrals last week.  We're expecting it to take another week or two for all the voters to kind of get their feet wet and get a feel for the poll so to speak, especially as we continue to add to their ranks. 

The bottom line from the last two polls has been that bloggers on the whole are not feeling too good about the market.
