Inflows can turn on a dime. I don't think you can use it for predictive value at all, BWDIK. Getting my b__ kicked today on YHOO puts I bought this mornin' so don't pay any attention to me.

Tommaso, No doubt the single leading cause of this tremendous run-up is this mutual fund cash inflow. For me, what it is doing is subtracting FA from the market and adding "what's hot" as the criteria for investment! I have tried to explain to a co-worker that since these inflows started, we probable have at LEAST a trillion invested from this source, 20 billion a month. Now if 50% of those investors decide to increase their investment rate by 20%, that is 2 billion dollars extra coming in each month. If 50% decide to REMOVE 20%, why that is 100 billion dollars OUT... oops! And where do you think the market will be THEN??? Especially if that were to happen March 20-25? It's a loooonnnnngggggg way down! Bill
