Retail investors remain stubbornly optimistic despite a 12% slide in the Mag 7, according to the latest Investopedia sentiment survey. While the broader market shows signs of a rotation, retail portfolios are largely staying the course with top holdings like Nvidia (NVDA) and the Nasdaq 100 (NDX). Caleb Silver notes that while investors are finding reasons to believe in a 5% to 10% market increase this year, they are navigating a environment where even slight earnings misses from companies like Walmart (WMT) or Carvana (CVNA) trigger aggressive selling.
