aj, True about 401ks. But what you may be missing is that most people shifted their asset allocation from equities to bond funds or even mmf's as I did so myself until I recently thought we we're having a trend reversal. In fact now, in my 401, I'm still higher percentage fixed income and mmf's, compared to equities. I'd bet a lot of people with retirement funds are like me. Long story short, imo there is still a lot of money to be transferred into equities if this reversal continues.

aj, One other thing. Imo, this process of gradual 401k type reallocation into equities will take time and will be a gradual asset shift into equities. Having once, twice, or thrice, been burned big time by the big bad bear, people will be hesitant to shift, but shift they will as they see equities out performing other investments. This coincides with my thinking of a trend reversal and has positive implications for the sustainability of this trend reversal as opposed to prior bear market rallies. At any rate, here's hoping...<gg>.
