This is the second statement of the bank for the current sentiment on the financial markets. Bank makes it clear that the last strength, even, SP500 Index is caused mainly by retail investors. Below you will find an earlier entry, in which I show BofAML report concerning similar issues.

What hedge funds are buying and selling
When it comes to showing just who is buying the hope... and who is selling the hype, the following chart from BofAML sums it all up... institutional clients sold the most since January and the 4th most on record in the last week as retail clients continued their buying streak.

| chart 1. Institutional clients are dumping equities off to retail clients; 2014-05-07 |
Last week, during which the S&P 500 was down 0.1%, BofAML clients were net sellers of $1.5bn of US stocks following a week of net buying.
Net sales were chiefly due to institutional clients, who have now sold stocks for the last five consecutive weeks and are the biggest net sellers year-to-date. Net sales by this group last week were their largest since January and the fourth-largest in our data history (since 2008).
