ETF investors stay home
Flows into domestic ETFs have swamped that of overseas funds over the past 4 weeks.

Exposed
According to the NAAIM organization, the average active investment manager is now 90% net long stocks, and even the most bearish manager is long (usually there’s at least one short seller). Since the 2006 inception of the survey, there have been 22 other weeks when this was the case.
