...With bonds, that is. I mean, geez. People still loving on their fixed income.

"Bond funds had estimated inflows of $6.42 billion, compared to estimated inflows of $4.97 billion during the previous week. Taxable bond funds saw estimated inflows of $6.06 billion, while municipal bond funds had estimated inflows of $361 million."

    Always a big time lag. We like to fight yesterday's war. Dozed off to "CNBC-West" last night (which I think trumps their daytime programing). One of the talking heads was speculating on why the jump in international fund inflows in past month(s). One guess on my part is that Sequester may have frightened some into avoiding U.S. equities in favor of international. As for cnbc - they're doing a little better job with PBS Nightly Busiess Report than I anticipated they would. Still - miss the different perspective the old show offered & also expect them to dumb down the current offering more as time continues. I will say, they retained Suzie G - who never looked better. (cnbc must have a better makeup department:-)
