A new Bank of America Merrill Lynch survey published Friday finds that U.S. investors have pulled $79B out of equities year to date - including net outflows in 9 of the past 10 weeks - despite stock prices continuing to break new record highs.

And on Friday, the S&P 500 traded at another intraday high above 2120, crossing the record for a second straight day.
