A very unscientific measure of US$ sentiment

By Peter Boockvar - December 11th, 2009, 1:10PM

With the US$ counter trend (I emphasize counter trend as secular decline will continue again at some point) rally apparently underway, which I believe began on Nov 17th when Bernanke uttered the word ‘dollar’ in terms of its impact on commodity prices and thus inflation, here is a very unscientific method of measuring dollar bearishness and how extreme sentiment got. Using Google search, ‘dollar bull’ comes up 6.6mm times while ‘dollar bear’ has 11.6mm results.

Now that you have googled those two items, google “Why is my…” and let google autocomplete and look at the results. These are the people that are googling dollar bull or dollar bear.
