In this edition, Lori reviews the results of her latest US equity investor survey. The big thing you need to know: The mood of the market is slightly less optimistic than our December survey. Slightly better valuation assessments and improved outlooks for EPS and the US economy are a big part of the reason why investors remain optimistic. The reasons why investors reined in their enthusiasm a bit include concerns about the timeline for the return to normality, the new COVID variants, the stronger dollar, inflation, fiscal policy, and the Fed.
