George, look at SEA to see how quickly liquidity can disappear. Since the July peak Two Trillion dollars of wealth has vanished -this number vastly exceeds the money flows from the baby brats and the much larger foreign money flows. We are in a bubble and a ponzi scheme. The bear is here to stay. Mike

Many things can dent your beloved liquidity. You are thinking just about US monies -- also, you don't seem to understand that the levels which we were at in July could only be sustained by increasing money flows. Where is the next bang of money coming from now that capital has fled almost everywhere else in the world to drive up our market? People that are laid off don't fund 401k's either. There have been some outflows from mutual funds lately -- I guess there's no chance that others might act to preserve their capital as well?

Cousin George, Yup, that liquidity argument worked wonders for the Nikkei in the late 1980s. -g- Seriously, there are scores of places to put your money other than a bloated US stock market, including some that are not overpriced, such as foreign stocks at the bottom, real assets, options, futures, income plays, ad infitum. Assuning that the boomers continue to have jobs that provide them with excess spending power, which they will not. Good Luck, MB
