From MarketWatch: Trim Tabs said equity funds had outflows of $1.4 billion over the five trading days ending Feb. 14, vs. outflows of $6.6 billion during the prior week. Equity funds that invest chiefly in U.S. stocks saw outflows of $1.9 billion vs. outflows of $2.7 billion in the prior week. Trim Tabs also said that margin debt fell $1.6 billion to $197.1 billion at the end of last month from the $198.7 billion at the end of December. Since the market capitalization of all stocks traded on the NYSE, Nasdaq and Amex rose 3.5 percent in January, the ratio of margin debt to market cap dropped to 1.17 percent - its lowest level since the end of Oct. 1999. The ratio stood at 1.22 percent at the end of December.

Probably wouldn't hurt them to sell off a little more of some of the businesses and retrench a little more, but they'll get funding ... higher cost than they'd like, but they'll get it. >>Still, some last-minute wrangling isn't uncommon in such syndicated loans, in which banks each take a chunk of a large corporate credit. Even the pessimists in the capital markets agree Lucent is likely, at this stage, to pull the deal off, even if it has to extend that deadline. "We continue to work aggressively and plan to close on the 22nd," said Lucent spokeswoman Kathleen Fitzgerald. <<
