Why Are Investors Fleeing Equities? Hint: Its Not the Computers

New York Times Original article ›

LyrArc Article Gist
Andrew Ross Sorkin points out that investors are sitting on their hands and money is moving out of the stock market. About $171 billion has moved out of mutual funds over the last year, according to the Investment Company Institute. About $208 billion has gone into the bond market in the same period. There are now fewer long term investors and the market is dominated by professionals which increases the volatility. There is a lack of confidence in the economy, the same reason that businesses in the U.S. are sitting on $2 trillion in cash that could be invested, and for investors the feeling that the market is rigged to favor insiders. The Financial Literacy Group surveyed 878 students at 18 high schools in 11 states in the U.S. It found that three fourths of the students agreed with the statement: "The stock market is rigged mostly to benefit greedy Wall Street bankers."

A Federal Reserve sponsored bull market in the U.S.

09/24/2009

With quantitative easing (QE), the Fed creating money to buy Treasury bonds at a fast pace, and with inflation "exceptionally low" in the Fed's words, there is considerable liquidity to support the surge in stocks. But this could change quickly. Investors would benefit from caution.

Consumer spending holds up in the face of higher gasoline prices. A number of reasons offered for this- a large portion of consumer spending coming from affluent households, the rebound in stocks, the higher fuel efficiency of vehicles in 2011 reducing the impact of higher gasoline prices, and low natural gas prices so that electricity prices are not affected.
