Thanks David. Appreciate the bits about the cheapest 20% of the market, being heavily populated by a lot of energy stocks.

But I’m wondering if another large component of that bottom 20% is zombie companies, and other overleveraged companies, whose business models are no longer as valid at 5% FFR?

A contra-contrarian may ponder “maybe the bottom 20% are there for reason, a harbinger of danger up ahead.”

Retirement will be a big factor in the coming Years and, given the wall of Boomers pulling the Pin, there will be pain...How bad? Your guess is as good as mine!

why must target date funds sell in a rising unemployment environment? No more buying, ok, but selling occurs on the targeted date, no?

Most likely cause will be Boomer Retirees getting worried about the coming Reset and pulling some of Their investments...This trend will only strengthen over Time, how much remains to be seen...

Someone who loses job must exit the employer sponsored 401k. That means selling.

Been saying for years that the drive into ETFs and the like is a wall of money that hits the market each month via pension plans. What i’d like to to better know is what pct of the market inflows are retail but non-pension flows? I.e money that may well come out in a redundancy situation. If its low, then will a rise in unemployment move the needle much?
