Agree that the measure of total market cap is deceptive. But since the statistic always measures the same thing in the same way, it's got a measure of reliability.

I suppose you could measure the price of every stock sold on every day - this isn't as impossible as it sounds, I think you can actually get this information from the NYSE, although I don't think the Nasdaq makes it available.

Even so, that wouldn't tell you what I am looking for, which is a measure of how much money is available "on the sidelines" because the amount of ready money chasing the available float ought to have a positive correlation with broad market movement. Of course that can't be measured, but I am trying to collect statistics that are significant to the analysis.
