The 22222K post could also be simultaneously sychronous to calling the top in the general markets , hehe. So far this huge uptrend of new investors being drawn into the rallying markets in discount trading in equity & fund investing could only bode well for SI , let's hope the 22,222,222 wag doesn't jinx it ! Feb 23 Wall St Journal: investorshub.com "Individual investors are moving into the stock market at a stronger clip than seen in years. The number of trades by individual investors has risen substantially at discount brokerage firms in recent months and jumped an estimated 30% to 40% in January from December. The discount firms, which offer lower-priced trades, also report that money flowing into stock mutual funds last month was at a near record level. Charles Schwab Corp., for example, saw $4.5 billion flow into its stock mutual funds last month, the highest amount since February 2000, when net investments hit $4.7 billion." * This is important for several reasons. Ask yourself this question: Are retail investors more likely to "pile into" equities at the very beginning of a Bull Market, or at the tail end of a Bull Market? cont'd ... Just teasing a little ...of course to read some of political threads here this was all but a foregone conclusion and has been for a number of years now , all during this latest incredible Bull Run that has been going on . Which might be coming to an end just as the $1000 prize on SI is awarded ! <g> ;)
