But the stockmarket being up is not really due to money flow. It's just voting using money as a measuring stick. Without any money at all moving, the price could double or halve. All it takes is the vote to move in a big step. Or course, in practical terms, a little bit of money would swap hands because there are people with buy and sell orders standing by waiting for the price to meet their prices. Flash crashes for example are nothing to do with funds flow. They are just bids being moved up and down by computers to test responses and hunt ignorant people and competing computers. There could be less money flowing in than normal but prices could rise. Normally, market moves involve increased volume and big moves involved bigger volume. But that's not a requirement for markets to move. Mqurice
