<<I think sentiment will turn on a dime next week as the institutions open their wallets... In 2 days we'll know...>> I never understand very well about this "cash on the sidelines" statement that gets made on occasion by various people. I have been led to believe that for the most part, the funds are required to remain invested by their charters, but perhaps I am wrong about that. Nonetheless, if there is money to come in from the sidelines, it would have to come from either inflows or increased cash positions in the funds. So can someone help me to understand, if Trimtabs is bearish ( I did not read your link, but I assume that this would be in part due to limited inflows or outflows), then you would base your statement on institutions "opening their wallets" on their being unusually high cash positions in the funds. Is their quantitative evidence of high fund cash positions, or is this speculation on your part? Thanks, David p.s. I guess the funds can go on margin would be another possibility ?
