The recent stock market plunge may have looked (and felt) bad...

"We remain bearish, as investor positioning does not yet signal 'The Big Low' in asset markets."

On top of this, Wall Street strategist have been looking for signs that sellers are "exhausted" – indicating that the markets have reached a bottom. 44% of those who took the survey believe we'll see slow global growth over the next year, which happens to be the worst outlook since November 2008.
