Thanks much, Dopamine. I knew there must be a way, but couldn't figure it out.

I think the only job of the fed is to make EVERYONE look like a fool.We have had equity outflows almost every week for 6 months,yet we continue to make new highs.

 

Now,individual investors and hedge funds are chasing everything that moves.Selling low and buying high again?

How are you tracking the equity outflow?

With more and more ETF & futures product created, are the these counted in your final tally?

I forgot where i read it a few days back,an article stated we have had only 2 or 3 weeks of equity inflows since august.....Not even sure how it was calculated,I will see if i could find it.

Here is one for mutual funds.....

 

ICI reports that for the week ending December 28, $5.2 billion left stock mutual funds. That makes about $24 billion in outflows in the month of December.

 

 

April was the last month with positive inflows.

FWIW muni's had 10 or 11 months of outflows but they are on fire now.So take it for what it is.

I have read somewhere before that some of these outflows are accurate contrarian indicators i.e. that the public takes their money out of equities at the bottom far more often than they buy at the bottom. Anyone know for sure whether that is so?

 

It's difficult to separate commonly believed superstitions about the market from ones that have actual data to support them. Folks often state their beliefs as thought they are proven fact, and then you look back at some charts and find that the indicator they refer to is far far more often wrong than right.

Still, rally seems rather wheezy and erratic, having to fight its way higher.

In a true cyclical bull, as recently as '10 into '11(never mind '09, '03-'06

or the 90's) market moves up smoothly day/day and week/week, and typically 'hour

of power' sees strengthening into closes. Not this rally. One long time observers

opinion.

This is where I am getting a disconnect, Macro Stock market Money Flow has been net NEGATIVE over the past several quarters to the tune of $100.6 billion US dollars according to Trim Tabs. This is roughly 1% of total market value while overall stock markets have gained roughly 12% last quarter. There must be some other support, vehicle or flow that is not being reported. Doc mentioned ECB maybe these flows are not being accounted for by TT.

Zero Cred has regular posts on equity outflows. I kinda stopped following them since the market didn't seem to care.... it's like "whah whaaaa wha whaaaaa whah"

Mutual fund flows are an infinitesimal part of overall trading. They have limited usefulness.

 

Trimtabs is full of crap most of the time in my opinion.

 

If you want to know what the market is going to do you have to track the casinos that own it and their bankers. That's what I do for you in the Fed Report.
