FYI: Did Donald Trump just do what record highs in the S&P 500 couldn’t? For several months now, consumer and investment sentiment has been anchored by the uncertainty regarding the election and especially over the possibility of what a Trump Presidency would mean for the markets and, more importantly, the economy. One of the best examples of this is the weekly sentiment poll from the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII). Even though the S&P 500 has essentially been at or near all-time highs for much of 2016, bullish sentiment on the part of individual investors has been stuck below 40% for a record 54 straight weeks and 88 of the last 89 weeks.
