Trey,

WOW, I did not realise that there was 1.25 trillion and now only 150 billion. That is what bothers me with the media - seldom is the whole story told.

Well, just on a simple calculation, per the figures you stated, there is only 12% of the funds in AUG/SEPT. So if the market used 88% of the funds to move the DOW/market up 1500 points, then the last 12% can move the market up another 200 points - just using simple ratios.

Of course it is not that simple, and there above statement has little merit since there are a ton of other variables to consider, but it does paint a more logical picture that 150 billion may not be that much of a positive as the media/analysts make it out to be.

Thanks for the info, by the way which site/url did you get that info from.
