Evidently the October capital gain avoidance mutual fund outflows were hogwash, as you expected. Must be some pretty serious redemptions going on to balance the flood of 401K money:

Stock funds flat, Trim Tabs
--9:12 am - By Tomi Kilgore
Funds that invest primarily in U.S. equities had zero flows in the week ended Nov. 15, compared with inflows of $600 million in the previous week, estimates Carl Wittnebert, director of research at Trim Tabs. During the Nov. 15 week, the S&P 500 index ($SPX: news, msgs) slipped 1.4 percent, after trimming 0.8 percent the prior week. Bond funds lost $800 million, compared with a $1.3 billion loss the week before.


Gee, people don't HAVE to buy stocks or bonds - maybe they might focus on paying down that debt now that stocks don't guarantee 25% per year any more...
