Off the top of my head, one thing I think you have to consider here is that more people in the pool are older than younger.

That is to say, Retirement money by law has to start coming out of these accounts as time goes on. I see more of these older guys speaking about their withdrawals every day. I also informally advise people to go to 50% cash each day. I get the same question, day in, day out. It's only the younger people who think the idea of a market correction is absurd. The people with the money are well aware of what poverty is like.

What the funds are doing with the moneys that people have moved into cash is speculative. Many conservative people I believe, have moved a portion of their moneys to cash. If the fund that controls the moneys is re-investing it into stock then any market reversal will see a sharp turn because these kids running the funds will have put themselves at a significant risk.

To sum up, I don't think the liquidity is as great as it appears.
