BECAUSE the public has largely withdrawn from the market, trading has increasingly been dominated by institutions. Thus, if high-volume selling materializes, it may be the portfolio managers at bank trust departments, insurances companies, mutual fund and pension fund management firms that will do the dumping.

That could set the stage for a repeat of the 1970 plunge. In that bear market, it was the professional who panicked and the muchmaligned ''small investors'' who, to everyone's astonishment, moved in to buy at the bottom and to stem the decline.

preaching to the choir. i actually give more credit to j6p than the mutual fund complex. it's that cesspool of fees and poor performance that will nail this market, not the individual. individuals are already on the sidelines, watching their credit card debt evaporate into worthless stock certificates.
