Good Morning Lee:
<<<< Maybe the fund managers find that the opportunity costs of not having the money invested is higher than the risks of being fully invested. >>>>

It is not all clear to me what a fund manager means by cash.
That is, he doesn't have a roll of bills. If he puts it in a
money fund, then the broker or fund manager invests it in stocks
or bonds until the (other) FM wants it back.
I seem to live in a strange world.One time I went to a
a large Bankamerica branch with about 25 employees to cash a $5000
check. The girl said "I may not have that much, I wish you would call
ahead of time". But she was able to find it in small bills.
So I have a picture that money is always invested somewhere.

L,

You make an interesting point here Lee. While there may not be much money on the sidelines at the present time, new money comes to the sidelines every month via 401k programs, which is then invested. The market begins to 'count' on this occurrence, and the funds get the money in time for dispersion to those on retirement (<vbg>) with the remaining entering into the market. A new way of doing business.

Regards,

Ken
