Dale,

Do you or anyone else have any figures on how much is flowing in as a result of retirement plans, IRA's etc.? I was just recently having a discussion about this with someone... there is a good bit of money that is coming in 'automatically' right now. The scenerio I considered most likely is that the funds would shift assets into other areas, as opposed to us seeing a gradual decline in money flow into the markets. People are always telling me how much their company pension plans, IRA's etc are making them... and I'm not sure the average person just working and alloting a certain % of their assets to retirement are going to wake up one day and say "These markets are too overvalued... I'm putting my money in something safer." If anything, it seems some people are looking for ways to get MORE money into the markets. I know some people subscribe to the theory that as long as the money flows, the markets will stay up, but I'm not entirely comfortable with that. Thoughts?

best,
kim
