Who is buying this market???
- Thread starter spinn
- Start date
Why wouldn't mutual funds be buying the market highs? They are competing with benchmarks, and if the S&P/Russell/Nasdaq etc. are moving higher, these guys will probably be buying. They can buy the highs, and be forgiven if the market subsequently tanks. If the market move up and the fund manager is on the sidelines, he will face criticism.
Honestly, haven't managed mutual funds proven to be the worst market timers, as a group?

Quote from spinn:
It is not the sheep I know. I cant imagine mutual funds are buying this high. Maybe its just the banks buying with tarp money, but most gave it back.
So who is it???

Hyperinflation.
When it hits just as unexpected to the pundits as the housing bubble popped you will see stocks being the only liferaft left to conserve capital.
Especially multinantionals that have capital assets, and export to other countries (ie industrials etc.. that pay dividends)
Weak dollar, more exports.
Hyperinflation means debt on industrials balance sheets is eroded.
