"Also, cash flow into mutual funds is probably more important than cash levels "

Went to an institutional money manager meeting once where the opinion expressed and Proven with statistics (yes yes they lie), that equity mutual funds were actually LAGGING indicators. The more the market would drop the less money would flow in. Turnaround in cash flows into mutuals would turn up AFTER the market had already turned. It seems that when the public sees a bad month they want to "wait and see whats going to happen". When the market goes back up, then its ok to start putting money back in equities. Anyway food for thought.

< One story my wife heard is that of a tiny retailer in nowhereland
which had a charge card system which would not accept cards with a 2000 expiration date.>

Not just in nowhereland. I've heard that happening around us, in northern NJ, and in NYC. It's not geography based.

Best,
