Gut, that is my belief exactly. We saw $2T leave the market in March and April. I'm sure a big chunk of that is REAL losses and the buying power from those REAL losses is gone for good. In that respect, I don't see how you can compare volume today to volume of just one month ago. It's like comparing apples and oranges.

you make a good point on volume wasnt it November99 that we first saw 1 billion Naz shares? I dont expect to see 1.6 billion every day anytime this summer nevertheless, compared to one month ago, volume is reduced I saw figures that showed a decline from Feb to March, another decline from March to April another decline from April to present I think this is a good thing many daytraders were decimated the world is a safer place without them new daytraders will be born tomorrow though DJIA is right, a colossal sumof$$$ left the market is April but I disagree, in that much of it will come back it is sitting on the sidelines JUST LIKE IN EARLY OCTOBER lots and lots of money is sitting on sidelines biggest questions in my fat head are: WILL MUTUAL FUND OUTFLOWS REVERSE AND HEAD BACK IN ??? WHERE WILL ALL THOSE MUTUAL FUND REDEMPTIONS GO ??? I sincerely doubt all that money is heading for safe CD's when the rain has ended, and a hint of blysky returns, the money will come back just with nowhere near the incredible force of last December Y2K liquidity encouraged by the Fed doesnt happen very often / Jim
