Well, just think of what happens when more than just $27 Billion (as of July) comes back into US mutual funds, as opposed to the -$160 BILLION that flowed OUT as of February 2009. Hmmmmmmm....
As there was when the markets got wiped out by 50% in 2007. I hear "there's a lot of money on the sidelines" at least 100 times a year by people like Abby Joseph Cohen in trying to perpetually construct the bull equity case.
Im so tired of hearing about the amount of money on the "SIDELINES".... It's a complete fallacy, why do people continue to talk about money on the sidelines, enough already, I heard the same Fuc$king nonsense when the markets started dropping in 2007, everyone was screaming that "cash from the sidelines" would come pouring in, it never happened, the indexes have dropped 50%+ since that time. The whole theory behind "cash on the sidelines" is a complete FALLACY.....its like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!!!!!
it's waiting for transparency of derivatives and looser lending maybe? .. when it does get in the game inflation will be upon us, no?
Once again, you show that you have NO IDEA what you are talking about. Imagine that... someone with nearly 9,000 posts on ET that has no clue. Money market mutual fund assets are at $3.6 TRILLION as of August 6th, 2009 http://www.ici.org/research/stats/mmf/mm_08_06_09 Just the facts... which you never seem to have even a BASIC understanding of. Please do us all a favor and just stop posting. You are a "clown."
