AAII Bullish Sentiment Remains Above Average

FYI: Individual investors are increasingly becoming "comfortably bullish" as bullish sentiment remained above its bull market average for the sixth consecutive week. According to the weekly survey of sentiment from the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII), bullish sentiment rose from 40.38% up to 42.24%. While bullish sentiment is above average, we would note that there has still only been one week this year where bullish sentiment exceeded 50%, so in spite of the increased optimism, investors don't appear to have become "comfortably numb" to the risks that the market can actually go down.
Regards,
Ted
