Key Factors Driving the Market

Can someone explain this "sideline" money to me. Every time a stock is sold, an equal amount of money is exchanged. For every dollar going to the sidelines via a sale, a dollar must come from the sideline via a purchase.

I can understand money flowing from bonds to stocks, or cash being added to workers 401k's each month or companies purchasing their own stock.

What am I missing? What is meant by "sideline" money?

Great article! Telling it like it really is and with a bit of humor mixed in. I I wish those in charge would take what was written to heart:

"Not only is it hastening the early death of the victim, it's also killing an opportunity to solve the problem and take steps toward a sensible treatment that will lead to a cure."

I have no hope our leaders will ever do the right thing. But, then, "we the people" have asked for it. And we are about to receive it. The ultimate blame lies with US, collectively.

This country is in serious trouble and the current administration is doing all it can to hasten the demise.
