Stunning to watch the precipitous decline in the closely tracked American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) Investor Sentiment Survey. The February 26 print of 19.4% marks a significant downward move from the prior week (29.2%), suggesting a give-up in investor confidence is underway.

Encouraging to read of the growing confidence around the 2025 earnings outlook for the S&P500. Goldman Sachs believe 2025 eps growth will be ~11%, following on from ~8% in 2024.
