Streethawk, I read somewhere that inflows into all qualified plans was equal to about 2 days dollar volume of US stock trading. To me, 2 days per year of volume is not that significant. By definition, that money must increase arithmetically because no leverage can be employed. Since there is no so called wage inflation, and by regulation contributions are capped, the only new increases can come from those who decide to join the frenzy. As stock prices go up though, the increase in the amount of funds needed to hold up the price of a stock increases geometrically. Unless I'm missing something, the above mean that 2 days volume can only decrease if the market goes up. I think the impact of qualified money on this market is drastically overrated. Perhaps I am missing something?

Another question I have is, "Won't at least some of the baby boomers be tempted to retire early since they have seen their retirement funds increase so quickly?

Regards,

Barb
