Interesting. First, it's still a small amount of the total that's out there (we keep hearing about the x trillion on the sidelines - chances are most of that will never come out of cash). Second, although retail funds appear to represent appx. 1/3 of the total money market universe, that 130 billion drop represents over 1/2 the drop in the total money market funds over the same period (from the March bottom til now). So, one could surmise that the retail crowd that was burned all the way to the bottom has been trying to get back to even (at least more than the institutional crowd), most likely unsuccessfully.
