The $300bln was most likely drawn down to buy shares in the multitude of secondary offerings that were done this spring/summer, to buy shares in IPOs, to buy the massive amount of new corporate bonds and Treasuries issued, among other things.

Specious arguments like these (cash on the sidelines, stocks cheap according to the IBES/Fed model, etc.) usually come toward the end of rallies when the fundamentals no longer justify the valuation.

Obviously you are not familiar with the concept of a secondary market. When I take my "sideline cash" and buy stock, the seller now has that cash, so the net effect is zero. That is, the seller who formerly held the stock is now on "the sidelines". ]]> Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:15:36 -0400

For example, if the DIA increases 4% for 12 days straight, it will go from $86 to $139 and DDM (increasing 8%) will go from $30 to $78 -- an increase of 152% vs. 60% for DIA.

It seems like the choppy up and down price action that is causing DDM to lose more of it's value than it seemingly should.]]> Fri, 05 Dec 2008 21:56:12 -0500

Case in point:

10-Oct-08:
DIA: $83.60
DDM: $34.00

4-Dec-08:
DIA: $83.74
DDM: $29.42

DIA is basically flat while DDM is down 13%.

These ultras should only be used for daytrading.]]> Fri, 05 Dec 2008 17:43:57 -0500

Psychologically you are affected. In past recessions, I have cut back on my discretionary spending for fear of a job loss – especially when others around you are being laid off. Also, companies tend to freeze or cut back on wage increases if business is not doing so well.]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2007 10:26:40 -0400
