New Update on the Public's Voracious Appetite for Stocks

 

Here's a month-to-month breakdown of how much money individuals are spending on stocks

By Elliott Wave International

It's been noted before in these pages that ...

... Investors have put more money into stocks in the last 5 months than the previous 12 years combined

That was an April CNBC headline.

That remains an astounding fact to contemplate and a testimony to a widespread cavalier sentiment toward risk. The basic attitude is that stocks almost always go up.

Well, nearly a half year since that CNBC headline published, the public's interest in stocks has remained intense.

Here's an update from the November Elliott Wave Financial Forecast, a monthly publication which covers major U.S. financial markets:

When Even Bears Act Bullishly (What It May Mean)

 

"Some indicators are making records"

By Elliott Wave International

It's difficult for most investors to take an independent stand from the crowd.

For example, it may be wise to "buy when there's blood in the streets," as Baron Rothschild famously said, but for many investors, that's easier said than done.

Likewise, when a financial uptrend has persisted, it's difficult for many investors to act in a contrary way to the pervasive optimism.

Consider this chart and commentary from the November Elliott Wave Financial Forecast, a monthly publication which provides coverage of major U.S. financial markets:

Bitcoin sous pression

 Le bitcoin s'est stabilisé autour de 60 000 $ mercredi, après avoir fortement
 chuté la veille au milieu de prises de bénéfices et d'une nouvelle répression
des autorités chinoises contre l'extraction de bitcoins. Le principal planificateur
 économique de la Chine, représenté par le porte-parole Meng Wei, a de nouveau
 réprimandé les activités d'extraction de crypto-monnaie mardi en affirmant que
l'industrie à forte intensité énergétique est extrêmement nocive et menace de
compromettre les efforts du pays pour réduire les émissions de carbone. La Chine,
 qui représente 75 % de l'extraction de bitcoins d'après une étude d'avril 2021, a
réprimé l'industrie depuis mai lorsqu'elle a interdit le commerce de crypto-monnaie
 et a déclaré qu'elle surveillerait les opérations minières dans le pays.
