<<Stock market liquidity last week was negative for the third week in a row. >> very interesting article. I keep track of fed reserve foreign holdings of US govt bonds. After 2+ years of steady growth in foreign holdings, this index broke the trend and flattened about Feb of this year. Within the last month, foreign holdings have started to decline. The rate of change has been decling at an accelerating pace over the last 18 months. where is all this money going

I'm here Autumn, and thanks for the interesting articles. Our guess is that foreigners and insiders were the big sellers last week and portfolio managers and the little guys were buyers. If that's so, then the next downturn in the U.S. stock market could be quite deep. I had never considered the liquidity issue before, but it's certainly true that public offerings have continued at an amazing pace. France Telecom must have sucked a big block of money out of the money pool also, and that was fairly recent also. DK
