The AAII Investor Sentiment Survey is a contrarian indicator, as confirmed in a study by a Wayne Thorp, at the time AAII’s financial analyst, and published in the Sept/Oct 2004 issue of their Journal (link below). One quote from the paper’s conclusion: “…we found that when sentiment reached overly bullish levels, the markets normally responded negatively in the months that followed.” One more (and the final sentence in the report): “However, as we have shown, if you run with the herd, you might get trampled.”
