The funds during the last market correction were flush in cash, both in terms of bonds and money markets. The market action in the stock market with respect to the bond market illustrates this. That is why you have the stock market decouple from the bond market during significant market corrections. Also my talks with a good newsletter writer which is subscribed to be allot of his friends who are fund managers had confirmed this for me. So even though the cash position of funds have been decreasing over the years, the funds cannot afford to stay in the market during a significant correction. This goes without saying, because this is a good way to lose much of the gains that they have made during the previous bull run of the market. For that matter,over time IMO the funds have become more short term and even speculative in their approach to the market because of their need to perform, as was alluded to by your post. Bob Graham

Joe followed you here. >if people start selling, funds need to sell stock to give the money back. that causes more selling. two, without money to buy on dips, what besides new money is there to push market to even higher overvalued levels. shes coming down soon.< haven't taken any kind of survey but IMO the average Joe on the street is getting the message about the market being way overvalued. If your view represents that of the average Joe then we will see some selling next week! pancho
