Market Currents

  • Despite another strong month (and September to boot!), mutual fund investors continue to pull funds ($11B) from equities. What this means, from a contrarian perspective, is that if markets were to turn down from here, "it would be one of those extremely rare occasions in which such a move was widely anticipated by the typical mutual fund investor."

    Maybe what is being anticipated is the need for money to buy food, gas, etc.

    people have been calling the market pullback for about five months now. if it does actually happen there's going to be a whole lot of people claiming to be a genius for calling it.

    Stocks go up and down so if you call for a pullback while the market is going up you have a 100% chance of being right, eventually.
