are you saying that over 1 trillion dollars which vaporized from market cap of US equities all found its way to fixed income? Even though I played it very conservatively by preemptively moving all my 401K money to a bond fund last year, I managed to vaporize 10% of my assets from the peak, trying to time a bounce. The fuel gets spent.

<<Mutual fund outflows don't evaporate. They typically go into fixed income investments (e.g., money market funds).>>

When the fund owns AAPL for example, and it closes one day at 50 something and then opens the next day under 30, the money evaporated. It didn't go into a money market to be saved for the next buying opportunity.
