$22 BILLION...Luc...predictions of the kind you make can put people on edge. We all need to take what comes in this particular situation...because it is a very important topic to all of us. Concerning fund cash levels. Here is the number I've alluded to before: $22 BILLION That is how much money is COMING into the market every month (this year). $22 BILLION. That's a record without any sign of letting up. I don't know about you, but that seems like a lot of money. It has to go somewhere. What's your take on this? It is important because it is one of the main reasons I feel so strong about the strength of this bull market. <H>

Alex, An interesting post that raises some good questions: <<How do you think that taxi driver is going to react if 50% of the value of his life savings evaporated into thin air over a three month period?>> I think that there will be successful demands for regulatory and tax reforms; in general, that the lessons of the past 60 years will suddenly be remembered. What do you think? <<Now I have no intention of running out on Monday and converting all of my stock into CD's,...>> Are you aware that there are stocks in good, financially sound, investment grade companies that can be purchased at today's prices with dividend yields as good or better than the going CD rate? Is there some reason why these stocks are not a viable option? Of course, if the game is "pump and dump", then knowing when to dump is definitely a plus. (The ability to travel in time is probably also an advantage). Regards, John
