ICR188: The Importance of Investor Sentiment

ICR188: The Importance of Investor Sentiment

ICR188: The Importance of Investor Sentiment

Today on the podcast, I’m talking about investor sentiment; what is it and why is it so important?

With the FTSE 100 index closing at a new record high and rising investment sentiment, we look at the definition of investor sentiment, some useful measures and how it can be applied to your investment decisions.

There’s also an interview with Martin Dropkin, Director of Research for Fixed Income at Fidelity International, about the latest Fidelity International Analyst Survey.
