Individual Investor Bullish Sentiment at Four Month High

Following in the footsteps of investment advisors, bullish sentiment among individual investors rose for the fifth straight week.  According to the weekly survey from the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII), bullish sentiment increased from 36.8% to 41.96%, representing the highest reading since late March.  While investors wanted nothing to do with this market six weeks ago, today they are starting to open up to stocks.  As they say, price heals all wounds.
