Hey, Ross here:
Let’s start the day by looking at how individual investors are feeling about this market.
Chart of the Day
This is the results of the weekly survey conducted by the American Association of Individual Investors.
As you can see, bullish sentiment is now back to pre-election levels while bearish sentiment has significantly increased.
On the surface, this might seem to be a warning sign.
But in actuality, this could be a major opportunity.
I explain this counterintuitive insight below.
Insight of the Day
Individual investors’ sentiment tend to be a counterintuitive leading indicator.
Here’s the truth – individual investors have limited power to move markets.
The majority of trading volume done in the US stock market is by the institutions.
In fact, when they decide to load up on a stock, the institutions often manipulate prices a little to “shake out” these individual investors…
Right before they send the price surging.
That’s why in many instances, increasing bearish sentiment by individual investors – which is what the survey above measures – precedes a bullish run in the markets.
Bearish sentiment by individual investors peaked at the end of October 2023 – right before a massive rally.
Today’s situation is different.
But the increase in bearish sentiment could mean that the pullback could be over very soon…
Meaning your window for taking advantage of it is closing.
The institutions are exploiting this pullback…
And so are the company insiders – high-ranking executives legally allowed to trade their own company stock, despite their huge informational edge.
They’re ramping up their purchases…
And we can follow their trades to amplify our potential returns during this pullback.
That’s why tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. Eastern…
I’m going LIVE for a masterclass on my strategy for picking the best of these insider trades.
Recent picks have exploded as much as 136% in mere weeks…
And this strategy has never had a losing year – even in the 2022 bear market – with a compounded return of over 1,900% since inception.
But with the pullback handing us a chance to get in at lower prices, this could just be the start.
So click here to save your spot for my live insider masterclass tomorrow…
And get ready to walk away with my entire insider playbook, including:
- What compels these insiders to buy…
- The warning signs you need to know when following the insiders…
- The most powerful – yet counterintuitive – insider buying signals there are.
The spike in bearish sentiment tells me this pullback could be over soon.
Don’t wait for that to happen.
See you tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. ET.
