More investors are worried about overvalued stocks and bonds than at any time in at least the last 12 years.

That's the message from Bank of America Merrill Lynch's latest survey of fund managers, which polls 145 participants managing a combined $494 billion (£337.4 billion) in assets on how they feel about a bunch of different investments.

Concerns among their panel about a bubble in stocks are at their highest level since records began in 2000. Combined, 54% more investors think both stocks and bonds are overvalued than don't, the highest since 2003 when the series began.

Here's how that looks:

The euro has fallen from just over $1.38 this time last year to below $1.06 now - but these graphs suggest that plunge may be coming to and end.
