Cash Hits Fresh Lows as Fear Exits the Market

Sentiment has been a topic I’ve discussed a couple of times this year. Most recently in my post titled No One Thinks Stocks Can Fall. In my article this week for TraderPlanet I take another look at a piece of sentiment data. This time, the percentage of assets held in money market accounts.

Here’s a piece:
