Hey, Ross here:
Both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are only about 1% away from all-time highs.
Even the equal-weighted S&P 500 is under 3% away from new highs.
And yet – retail sentiment has just taken a big downward swing.
Chart of the Day

This is the results of the latest weekly sentiment survey by the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII).
As you can see, the number of bears has dramatically spiked in just a week…
And they now outnumber the bulls – the first time this has happened in five weeks.
Retail investor sentiment is deteriorating.
Maybe it’s the labor market and the tariffs coming into effect – all amplified by the clickbait media.
And yet, amid it all share buybacks have been spiking.

How are the two related?
And what does it mean for you?
I explain it all below.

Insight of the Day
Corporate America – and other in-the-know traders – are taking advantage of depressed retail investor sentiment.
With retail investor sentiment taking a big downward swing…
At the same time as corporate America is ramping up purchases of their own stocks…
A clear pattern is emerging – one I’ve sadly seen too many times before.
This is a pattern where the retail traders get flushed out of the market…
Where they get manipulated to sell their holdings to the more informed “in the know” traders.
Then, when the rally resumes…
They get FOMO and buy back in at much higher prices.
It’s a dirty game, and it’s been happening for decades.
So don’t expect it to change anytime soon.
The only thing we can do is to understand the rules of the game…
And bend them to our own advantage.
That’s why in just a few hours at 11 a.m Eastern…
I’m going LIVE to show you exactly how to do this…
Using an approach that has delivered returns like 287%… 542%… and 806% – all in a matter of weeks or even days.
Yes, this strategy is on the “gray” side…
But it’s incredibly effective – and if you’re not using it in your own trading, I promise you’re missing out.
After my live session later this morning, you’ll know exactly how to apply this method to your own trading.
So click here to guarantee your seat if you haven’t done so yet…
And I’ll see you LIVE in just a bit at 11 a.m. ET.
