Hey, Ross here! This week's sentiment indicator from the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) shows a sharp dip in bullish sentiment, now at one of the lowest levels all year. While this might seem like an overreaction—likely influenced by the upcoming election—there's good news. When individual investors overreact like this, it often creates opportunities. I explain why below.

Hey, Ross here! Today's chart shows the percentage of stocks trading above their 50-day moving average, a key indicator of the market’s medium-term trend. Right now, that percentage is dipping sharply. But if you look closely, similar dips earlier this year turned out to be great buying opportunities. Is it guaranteed to happen again? No. But the odds are in our favor. Don’t miss out while you still can.

Hey, Ross here! One of the best things about the American stock market is its openness. Investors worldwide can—and do—invest here, adding to its strength. Today’s chart shows that international investors are flocking to our market, and this demand is fueling the bull market's momentum. That’s why I believe we have a lot more room to run. Keep riding the bull.

Hey, Ross here! Today's chart reveals how large speculators—the big money—are positioned in the futures of the small-cap Russell 2000. Without diving into futures contracts, the key takeaway is that the more these traders buy, the more bullish they are. Right now, they’re the most bullish on small-caps in nearly four years. This is a major opportunity, and you don’t want to miss out.

Hey, Ross here! The S&P 500 has surged 38% since May 2021—before the 2022 bear market. But here’s the kicker: based on price-to-earnings ratios, it’s actually 19% cheaper now than it was back then. The bears won’t mention that when they claim the market is “overvalued.” Ignore them, and you risk missing out on the upside.

Hey, Ross here! The average bull market runs for five years, and even at the lower end of the range, data shows this one likely has at least another 12 months to go.

Stay focused, stay calm, and keep trading.

Hey, Ross here! Today's chart shows the US High Yield Index Option-Adjusted Spread, which basically tells us how much extra return investors need to take on riskier junk bonds compared to safe US Treasuries. Right now, the spread is the lowest it’s been all year, meaning risk appetite is actually at its highest. Despite what you may hear, the market is more willing to take on risk than it seems. I break it all down in today’s Insight of the Day.
