because the amount of ready money chasing the available float ought to have a positive correlation with broad market movement. This premise is incorrect for the reason I stated previously. Money flow can be distinctly negative in a rising market, it can be distinctly positive in a falling market. Price is determined at the margin. If your premise were correct Japan would be experiencing a rising market, they have a ton of money on the sidelines and people are avoiding the market like a corpse. Prices rise when people are willing to pay more than the last price, this can happen for many reasons. It can happen with very little money net in.
