I think through humor you are saying the general public is out of the market for all intents and purposes. I agree. I wish I had a chart going further back, but the move of funds from equities to Bonds only turned recently as these charts show suite101.com Scroll down as I show several. If you consider 401K folks might have changed their contribution from perhaps 80% equities and 20% bonds to 20% equities and 80% bonds between 2001 and early 2003 in a massive, drawn-out capitulation process, then the fact that equity funds are negative despite the lowered 401K fund flow is significant.
