Market Forecast Project Issue 3 – October, 2009

Recently we launched AFG's Market Forecast Project with the goal of providing ongoing insights from AFG's broad interaction with professional money managers. Thank you to all of you who have participated and helped grow our survey to over 300 investment professionals for our 3rd issue of the survey. We hope that you and your colleagues end up with insightful results from a large group of your peers. With 3 surveys conducted we have started to keep track of the movements and trends in investor sentiment, and will provide those results to you as well on a monthly basis. Another interesting feature of this month's survey is a list of the favorite Long and Short ideas provided by MFP participants. We look forward to continuing to grow this survey in the upcoming months to make the results even more useful for participants. If you know of any friends or colleagues who would like to participate feel free to forward them this link to sign up and begin receiving results. Click here to signup.
