>> agree with everything you say, though I'd say there's room for discussion as to how exactly the IRA's fit into the aggregate mix of all the buy-side pressure sources. I have read recently where a couple of factors of the IRA funds are the steadiness --many contributors have a set amount deducted/invested twice a month, and that IRA money doesn't jump in and out they way individuals tended to do with mutual fund money 10-20 years ago. Basically, steady source of supply that tends to stay put.<< true... however the allocation of those funds, especially as the huge "boomer" demographic approaches retirement more and more will go toward fixed asset (read: conservative) investments. personally, i believe that trend was accelerated by the crash in technology stocks (specifically the nasdaq)...remember the old saying... "once burned, twice shy" (interesting thread, thank you for starting it)
