lol -- hey Eugene, I was wondering if someone would check my math :-).

There are more than 100M workers. I just used that number out of convenience.

There are probably a TON of non-US citizens investing in US markets, too.

Is the pool of money available to the average American worker limited to their current paycheck ? Rumor has it there's a ton of cash on the sidelines. I've heard $500B, but I don't keep track.

So $7B isn't really that big a deal, and it sure as heck isn't the sign of a market top.

Chris

Re Fund Flows:
Another way of looking at the talk of record highs and lows is as a % of Stock Fund assets. Looked at in that way, the two periods of record $ outflows are still noteworthy, but not all time records as a % of stock fund assets. The recent inflow spurt is just an above average influx, nothing to get excited about.
