In the bank, if joined by enough people, maybe a business received a loan they wouldn't have. In a mutual fund, if joined by enough people, maybe a company upgraded their plants and equipment in anticipation for the next upturn.

Addendum to the previous response...On the other hand if you were talking about a sector in the economy that was depressed rather than a global recession the theory above works just fine, because there are healthy sectors that can take in/utilize the investment. At the moment, housing is doing well, but that's not enough to absorb the idle investment potential.
