    People are making shorter and shorter term decisions and this is a reflection of that.

    Then there is this article, also from CNBC. "Investors Are All In."

    Umm ... It's hard to see how anyone is "fleeing" with the major indexes sitting at or near record highs. Seems about as likely as defying gravity.

    Who is buying? If retail is selling funds, there is always the chance that large money continues to purchase and/or there is a fair amount of short covering yet again.

    Additionally, the Swiss National Bank has a hundred billion in foreign stocks. Perhaps foreign central banks buying.
