U.S. households increased their stockholdings to 41% of total financial assets in April, the highest level on record according to JPMorgan analysis

“It was nerve-racking when you’re putting in a substantial amount of money,” Mr. White said. But, “if you have a quick finger, you’ll sell…and you’ll lose out in the long term.”Many individual investors haven’t been deterred by the market’s swoons.

David Sadkin, a partner at Bel Air Investment Advisors who oversees $4.6 billion for wealthy clients, said the share of their money that is sitting in the stock market has increased to about 65% from roughly 45% last year, while he has whittled down investments in bonds. As his bondholdings mature, he has gradually reinvested the money into stocks.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note settled at 1.632% Friday, up from around 0.915%, where it started the year, but still a low level historically. “In order to achieve our clients’ goals, we need to take on more risk,” Mr. Sadkin said. “We intend to continue to reallocate into risk assets while interest rates stay this low.”

Other investors have been even more aggressive. A survey by the American Association of Individual Investors showed that investors’ allocations to the stock market hit around a three-year high of 70% in March. And margin debt—or money that investors borrow to buy securities—Randy Lee, a 31-year-old software engineer based in Lansing, Mich.

Whatever. It’s not a celebration. There’s nowhere else to put cash. It’s essentially low interest rates artificially propping up the stock market. It’s been overvalued for years now. Watch out.

This in fact is because the inverse yeild curve has destroyed people's ability to park money in bonds thisisnotagoodsign

Individuals are finally seeing how the dollar is being debased by QE-Infinity and they dump it for assets. Anyone who holds fiat is a fool.
