Tip, check the TrimTabs site for some stats. J6P equity mutual fund flows were: 1996 $211.5 billion 1997 $182.5 1998 $159.2 1999 $180.5 2000 $245.0 2001 ~ $60.0 trimtabs.com New buybacks have averaged $18 billion / month over the last couple of years. Cash takeovers have averaged $15 billion / month over the last couple of years. trimtabs.com So corporate free cash generation / use is at least as important as J6P, if not more. Pension funds (which J6P obviously benefits from but doesn't really "control") hold +/- $3 trillion in US equities. So just a small re-balancing one way or the other by these guys makes a huge difference (in fact, in the TrimTabs article referenced above, they think pensions bought new $90 billion of US equities in the Q4:01, more than the inflows from J6P all year). I am sorry that I do not have a link for foreign buyers. I THINK it has been on the order of $50-100 billion a year for the last couple of years. Hope that helps. Cheers
