It's not just retail investors who are afraid of missing out—professional fund managers on Wall Street are also rushing to get ahead.

According to the latest survey by Bank of America, the cash allocation of institutional investors has fallen to a historic low, accounting for only 3.3%, with all the freed-up bullets being invested in stocks. From the numbers, the bullish sentiment indeed outweighs everything.

Even though the path ahead is full of uncertainty before 2026, the enthusiasm of large funds still outweighs caution. After all, no one wants to miss out on potential growth.

However, there are some uncomfortable details hidden within: the valuation of the S&P 500 has already surpassed the heights of the dot-com bubble, capital expenditure in the AI industry is also piling up crazily, but corporate profit expectations may not be able to keep up with this pace. High valuations squeeze the space for fundamentals, and investors need to be wary of potential rippling effects of a recession if there are any disturbances in the U.S. job market.

In simple terms, institutions are now "fully betting", but the heavier the stakes, the greater the risks.

3.3% cash allocation? Ha, this is collective gambling. Everyone is afraid of missing out, and as a result, they all rushed in. This logic... The height of the internet bubble has already exceeded, yet they are still piling in? Crazy. Just waiting for some employment data to get dumped, and see how awkward they become. Institutions are no different; those who rush ahead will end up crashing together.

Everyone is going all in, whoever dares to run first is the fool, this is the casino. --- 3.3% cash allocation... I feel a bit anxious for them. --- The internet bubble has been surpassed, if it bursts this time, it will really be fatal. --- To put it bluntly, it's just that nothing can go wrong, once something does, there will be a stampede, and by then the retail investors won't even know how they died. --- Laughing to death, the big funds are also taking a gamble, and the outcome is just as risky as ours, what do they call this professionalism? --- AI spending is piling up like a mountain, but profits can't keep up? Then how can this valuation hold up? --- If the job market shakes slightly, this tightrope walk will be game over, right?

Betting everything on this, in the end it's still just luck --- 3.3% cash, this courage is really something... haha --- Has the internet bubble been surpassed? My goodness, this is self-destructive --- I'm just afraid that once the employment data goes wrong, this group will collectively do a Rug Pull --- The current logic is "if others buy and I don't, I’ll lose"... it's a bit pathological --- The stakes are high when betting, it hurts more when losing, right? --- AI is burning money like crazy, but profits haven’t followed, this gap will need to be filled sooner or later --- Retail investors and institutions are betting on the same dream, whoever falls behind will bleed
