         INVESTOR SENTIMENT SURVEY

                 6 / 1 / 98

------------------------------------------------

Below are the results of our weekly "Guess the Dow" sentiment survey. The
survey was taken from 5/25 through 5/31 on our web site. 

Number of participants: 403

30 day outlook:

27% bullish,  23% last week
57% bearish,  42% last week
16% neutral,  35% last week

(percentages may not sum to 100 due to rounding)

Median guess for the DJIA closing value on Friday, 5/29: 8971 (it was 9067
last week). More complete sentiment data is available at
<http://www.lowrisk.com/sentiment.htm> .

Yet another week with EXTREMELY bearish sentiment. The 57% bearish reading
is the highest ever in the 56 weeks of data that we have. The DJIA fell
more than 200 points last week so an increase in bearishness is to be
expected. However, a 56% bearish reading must be taken as some type of
warning not to get too aggressive with the short positions. Bullish
sentiment actually climbed a bit last week to 27%. Apparently this was a
week where a many people made up there mind - neutral sentiment dropped 19%
to end at 16%.
