"Investors pull whopping $56 bln from money market funds .... "

You mean you don't think the money market funds went into the stock market ? lol

Well it didn't take much news to make the shorts start a-runnin' did it ?

I'm not kidding, soon enough, the shorts will cover and decide it ain't worth it to reload. But no one will go hog wild buying either.

You will see. Both 1933 AND 1974 ended up that way.

"I think people are taking it out, and buying homes, autos, second homes, gold, IMO."

More like they are spending it on food, mortgage, credit card payments, gasoline etc

I can tell you where a lot of it went out here in tech land:

-- to the IRS, to pay the tax bill on the huge income that the family no longer enjoys;

-- to try to keep the house and cars out of default;

-- to cover COBRA payments on health insurance until the next hope-for job lands;

-- to live on until the next hoped-for job lands.
