Hey, Ross here:

The S&P 500 is now back at all-time highs…

_Despite_ individual investor sentiment being at 52-week lows.

The institutional investors though?

As today’s chart shows – it’s a completely different story.

This is a Bank of America survey of global fund managers’ levels of cash holdings.

Cash levels tend to increase during market downturns and drop during bullish periods.

And right now, their cash levels – the lowest in years – indicates maximal bullishness.

And yet – individual investors are the most bearish in over a year.

Who do you think is more likely to be right?

**Insight of the Day**

**Individual investors are more likely to run from the unexpected, institutional investors are more likely to profit from it**.

If there’s one thing we can expect from a Trump presidency, it’s the unexpected…

And individual investors – by their nature – or more likely to flee the unexpected.

Meanwhile, institutional investors – who realize that Trump is ultimately a positive force for the stock market and economy…

I’m hosting a live training session to reveal a way to find low risk, HIGH confidence trades in spite of the market turbulence.

It’s all about looking for a hidden underground signal that tells you where the smartest investors in the market are placing their bets.

For instance, we recently detected this signal on Synchrony Financial (SYF)... 

Spurring my top analyst to take a small test trade of just $346.

Three weeks later, that position had turned into $1,428 – a **_521% gain_**.

And later this afternoon, I’m going live to show you exactly how to find this signal for yourself.

If you haven’t yet, **[click here to confirm your seat for my live training session…](https://gettheblackedge.com/registration/?tambid=28253)**

And I’ll see you at 3 p.m. ET today.
