Recent investor info... <<Investors pulled an estimated $12.5 billion out of stock funds in February, based on activity through Feb. 22, according to California-based data service Trim Tabs.com. Monthly outflows from stock funds have been rare in the past dozen years. Dramatically lower levels of margin debt clearly indicate investor caution. Trading stocks on margin means a customer borrows money from a brokerage to buy more stock. Margin debt hit a record $278.5 billion at the Nasdaq's peak a year ago, according to the New York Stock Exchange. It has since fallen 30 percent to $197.1 billion.>>
