Donald, IMP, Frank,

thanks for your responses.

I guess my thoughts are along the simple principle of supply and demand. Funds (not necessary mutual funds) chase after a finite number of shares. Needless to say, more funds = higher market and vice versa.

Compounding the problem is the popularity of mutual funds these days. The major difference is the "other people's money" syndrome. Mutual fund managers have entirely different objectives as the clients they represent. Their buy, sell or hold decisions rest entirely upon net fund flow under management, regardless of market condition. Unfortunately, mutual funds are now the driving force of the market.

Does anyone here have a subscription to AMG or TrimTabs (the fee areas) and can comment on that data?
