The MoneyShow.com Traders’ Sentiment Indicator polled active traders from its subscriber list between May 25 and May 29. “Traders continue to remain divided on even the short-term direction of the markets. With so much uncertainty in the markets, and the continuation of challenging times for corporate America, active traders seem to be shortening their timeframes and seeking out more education,” said Tim Bourquin, MoneyShow.com Trading Channel editor. The complete findings of the Traders’ Sentiment Indicator are now available on MoneyShow.com. The site will commission several other indicators throughout the year among investors and traders, which will be announced in conjunction with its various trade shows. About MoneyShow.com
