TradingMarkets.com Where Are Investors Putting Their Money? Monday November 3, 5:20 pm ET By Edward Allen For the week ended October 29, AMG data is reporting that equity funds--including those that invest abroad--posted net cash inflows of $2.2 billion, with most of the money going into domestic growth and value oriented funds. Taxable bond funds reported small outflows totaling $ 316 million for the week ended Oct 29. Aggregate inflows for this year however, total $78 billion, which is dramatically more than the amounts reported during the same period in 1998 (+$44b), 1999 (+$20b) and 2000 (-$60b). A sustained trend in outflows from bond funds into stock funds would signal capitulation by the remaining bearish investors, which, in my view, would then suggest that caution should be exercised by equity bulls. Until that time however, there is still plenty of retail money on the sidelines to buy stocks. The chart below illustrates periods of extreme shifts in mutual fund flows relative to the Wilshire 5000 (AMEX:^TMW - News) and has been a good contrarian market indicator during periods of extreme inflows--outflows, such as in 2000 and last October. excitable ' biz.yahoo.com
