" Inflows into funds since 1991 were $1.1 trillion. The increase in market cap is $8 Trillion. In other words, boomers didn't cause the boom and can't stop the crash." Did he speculate or can you on where the difference comes from ? Thanks , Rob

>>Inflows into funds since 1991 were $1.1 trillion. The increase in market cap is $8 Trillion. In other words, boomers didn't cause the boom and can't stop the crash.<< mike, i don't follow the logic here. a small amount of money in/outflows can have dramatic price increases/decreases. for example, if on monday morning a single sell at market order was received for $1.1 trillion then i'd expect the market to fall an easy $8 trillion. in a day. while we agree on the conclusion, i don't see where this data supports it. the crash will come when more people decide to sell than arecurrently buying. this may be a gradfual change or it may be a sharp turn. of course, we all hope for a sharp turn ;-)

Michael, Followed your views on semis...when would you go short on AMAT? Looks like the Xmas "lies" are starting to come out. Do you expect the semis to react positively to them? JXM
