T, i was also surprised by the heavy inflows in the face of the decline of the NAZ...but i see it as a sign of complacency. actually when people begin to bail from their mutual funds, that's often the time a bottom is made.

i agree that people generally underestimate the risks involved...after all the WS propaganda and brainwashing machine has trained them well...'buy and hold', 'buy the dip', etc. are deeply ingrained mantras.

TrimTabs is reporting that inflows to U.S. equity funds for this year average $30 billion plus per month - April estimated inflows $37 billion, March estimated inflows $32.9 billion. Inflows for the two days ending Wednesday, April 19, were $12.7 billion for U.S. equity funds, $3.1 for international funds, total inflows $15.9 billion. This exceeds the prior record set on the two days ending April 7, of $15.4 billion.

One does wonder where the money is coming from - doesn't appear to all be coming from bond and money market funds. $49 billion in total bond redemptions year to date.
