The equity buying spree: Total US ETF and single-stock purchases hit $5.9 billion last week, well above the 52-week average of $2.3 billion.

Corporations followed with $1.6 billion in buybacks, while retail investors and hedge funds added $0.4 billion and $0.2 billion, respectively. Individual investors have now bought in 33 of the last 35 weeks. Market sentiment is incredibly strong. Source: The Kobeissi Letter, BofA
