Joan, cash on the sidelines? money market funds have had outflows of 52 billion dollars over the past four weeks. and while stock funds have had record inflows so far this year, the low cash-to-assets ratio of the mutual funds (3,8%, an all time low) suggests the money has been put to work right away and was met with a flood of paper...which is why stocks haven't gone anywhere in spite of the massive inflows. it doesn't look like the flood of paper will recede anytime soon. so inflows into stock funds will need to remain extremely strong to ward off a market decline.
