Nonsensical article. US investors have the most money at risk as a whole compared to any country. That tells you the relative confidence and risk taking behavior.
It is also natural that people with most money at stake are also typically the most cautious in attitude. A person with $1000 in the market can be lot more bullish than a person with $100,000 in the market.
The people most unconditionally optimistic (other than simple alpha males) are those that stand to benefit from investors being optimistic and letting them make money even if investors lose money.
Couldn't agree more cman. The people who are truly making money or who no longer NEED to make money, rarely if ever talk about it. The opposite seems to be true also.
