Record cash outflows from mutual funds in 2011 but stocks close higher suggesting that stocks are now firmly in strong hands

For weeks I have been saying that there has been a massive transfer of stock ownership from many individual owners (weak hands) into the hands of a relative few (strong hands). Believe it or not, more funds have left equity mutual funds in the last 12 months than in all the years since 1990 put together (I say since 1990 because that is when Bloomberg began keeping ICI mutual fund flow records).

The graph below should have been presented in a histogram format but Bloomberg didn't have that option for this price series.

Looks like someone is looking to control the world.

You are quite the busy bee today, pluMmet.

I notice there is a new area on the Forums: World Economics.

The tricky part will be where to start a new thread: either in the Wall Street section or the World Economics section seeing that any world economic event, whether minor or major, affects the US Markets (Wall Street) in some way.

In my opinion the 2 are almost indistinguishable. I guess we'll have to see how it goes....

I see your point but I was having trouble find places for lots of news not just with the wallstreet section but it could have gone just as easily in the gold or forex sections so I asked Adam for the new section.

We can just use our best judgment
