“The investor’s chief problem—and even his worst enemy—is likely to be himself.”

—Benjamin Graham, The Intelligent Investor (1949)

Hi Kevin,

Markets are grinding toward new all-time highs...

So why does it still feel so uneasy out there?

That’s the disconnect we unpacked in today’s Sevens Report, because sentiment isn’t matching the headlines—or the price action.

➡️ The AAII Bullish Sentiment reading? Still below average.
➡️ The CNN Fear/Greed Index? Hovering barely in “Greed” territory, even after a massive rally.
➡️ The Investors Intelligence Bulls/Bears spread? Cautiously positive… but nothing like the exuberance we saw at past market peaks.

And that’s the point…

This remains a “hated rally.”

Advisors and investors alike still don’t trust it—and in many ways, that’s bullish

As long as macro risks like tariffs and geopolitics don’t throw a wrench into things, the skepticism alone may help power more upside.

It’s the classic setup: markets climb a wall of worry. And right now, that wall is built with tariffs, geopolitical risk, and recession fears. But because investors remain so skeptical, the path of least resistance is still higher—at least for now.

But you can’t explain that with a CNBC headline. You need clear, concise talking points—what this means, why it matters, and how to explain it confidently to clients before they start asking uncomfortable questions.

We covered all of that in today’s Sevens Report (and a lot more):

 The full breakdown of sentiment data (and what’s not being priced in)
 Why neutral sentiment is not a warning sign—yet
 The sectors and ETFs to watch as this “mistrusted momentum” plays out

💡 In a world of recycled headlines and surface-level takes, clients don’t need another voice echoing what they’ve already heard on TV. They need someone who can cut through the noise and explain what’s really driving markets. That’s how you earn trust—and keep it (and your clients).

If you want to deliver that kind of clarity—without spending hours each morning sorting through headlines—we’ve already done the work for you.
