Actually there was no panic among fund managers either, to judge from the fact that mutual fund cash levels as a percentage of assets are lower than ever. TrimTabs and AMG Data show continual inflows of new cash since the beginning of the year; the market declined in April; and yet the percentage of cash in funds also declined. In other words, fund managers went right on putting money into the market.

Cash levels are at all-time lows.

The markets lost a trillion dollars in value in a week in April, but only a very little money was actually removed from the markets. A little cautious selling, for various reasons that included Abby Joseph Cohen's recommending a small shift into cash, was enough to cause the drop.

That's why some of us are concerned about what will happen if there is an effort to liquidate just a slightly larger percentage of equities. The minute no one wants to buy something, there's no market for it.
