Currently, people are taking money out of mutual funds so funds need to sell their shares fro the customers redemption. Foreign money has been leaving the US markets for a while also. About 1/4 of foreign money contributed to the bull market of the 1990s. Not a pretty picture right now. Most of my trading money is currently in T-bills. I kept 30K for daytrading because of the new regulations but never trade more than 1000 shares in a single day.
