John, they are not the only ones. pension funds, insurance companies,university trust funds, all have too high an allocation to equities. as mentioned before, in many cases their equity allocations are already exceeding the bounds of prudence by a wide margin, and even if they do not cut back outright (which i think they will, or are already doing) there will be NO additional demand for stocks from these sources for quite some time.
the same goes for corporations and their buyback programs...with the losses accumulating fast, buybacks (especially those that were funded by borrowings) will be severely curtailed in the future.
while supply is also not expanding as fast as it used to due to the shutdown of the IPO market, i believe demand for stocks is in the aggregate falling even faster.
