I think the general public is still either hiding under their desk or sworn off stocks forever after they got their Q4 and probably Q1 IRA statements. I think what we're seeing now is short covering and fund managers who are concerned they've missed the boat, especially after the market broke through 800 and 875.

Last year up to 80% of the volume on the NYSE was program trading for much of the summer. It's likely still running at at least 50%.

Unless you are a computer, the typical investor is not the majority.

Add in proprietary trading desks and hedge funds, and you've probably got about 80%-90% of the daily volume accounted for.

This market is being taken up to distribute to the sheep, and I agree with you there.
