E*TRADE Study Reveals Bullish Sentiment Drops Significantly Amid Inflation Fears


E*TRADE Financial Holdings, LLC today announced results from the most recent wave of StreetWise, the E*TRADE quarterly tracking study of experienced investors. Results reveal cracks in investors' pandemic-era bullishness:

"Investors are facing several headwinds when it comes to their portfolios, so it's not too surprising to see bullishness take a big hit," said Mike Loewengart, Managing Director of Investment Strategy at E*TRADE Financial. "Many are questioning if inflation is here to stay, supply constraints have weighed heavily on purchasing power, and slowing growth prospects seem to be more of a reality. But investors should keep in mind that volatility is part of a healthy market and preparing for pullbacks is key."

The survey explored investor views on sector opportunities for the fourth quarter of 2021:

About the Survey

This wave of the survey was conducted from October 8 to October 16 of 2021 among an online US sample of 901 self-directed active investors who manage at least $10,000 in an online brokerage account. The survey has a margin of error of ±3.20 percent at the 95 percent confidence level. It was fielded and administered by Dynata. The panel is broken into thirds of active (trade more than once a week), swing (trade less than once a week but more than once a month), and passive (trade less than once a month). The panel is 60% male and 40% female, with an even distribution across online brokerages, geographic regions, and age bands.
