Let me ask you more knowledgeable market guys -- is there any sort of mechanism out there that measures how long a given investment dollar is staying in a stock? I am getting at more than volatility of prices. I mean, can we gauge how long investments are lingering in one place or another?

I don't know of this measure per se. What are you trying to determine; maybe there's another way than what you've described.

I believe...and correct me if I'm wrong...but LG's moving in the direction of blaming economic weaknesses on micro-trading in the stock market.

Then as usual you would be wrong.

Look at all the delays and changes in ACA, companies spent millions on consultants in preparation the poof, delay. Companies are not going to continue to spend money on planning when with the flick of a pen it's wasted.

A series of disincentives caused mainly by government:

Banks are flush with cash as forced by the fed but cant lend because of Dodd Frank, which is still being implemented and will get worse.

Companies and individuals will not sign up for unlimited and unknown liabilities by nature. The future cost of an employee cant be known because of Obamacare. The president hasn't decided today if he will change the law for tomorrow regarding the employer mandate.

International companies are flush with cash. By operation of tax law, they are allowed to set up subsidiaries in countries where the corp rate is lower. If they bring the money back, they still owe the tax in the foreign country plus the differential in US rates. They wont.

Regulations, compliance and insurance burdens are huge impediments. The rules are so complex an individuals and businesses cant fully comply.

The primary driver in all of this is an overall disdain for freedom and capitalism by the left. A constant stoking of class warfare and obsession with fairness and redistribution stops economic expansion.

The thing is though if you look at their balance sheets they're still leveraged 30 to 1. They are loaning it to somebody.

I haven't seen a loan deposit ratio in recent weeks. Last fall I believe the average was around 75% and I remember it was ridiculously low comparable to the early 1980's recession recovery. In addition to regulations, which have become more onerous, banks are businesses looking out for their own interests too. They are not in a hurry to loan in what will be a rising interest rate environment soon. Long term fixed rate loans at today's rates will put them upside down...And to boot, the fed pays them interest to hold their excess reserves. There's not anywhere near the lending that could be done.

Not quite sure what you're talking about there. Basel III implemented 3-5% capital requirement which indicates to me it was lower like 2% and the FDIC banks will have to be at 6%. Still almost 20 to 1.

One quarter of job growth is just a drop in the bucket in the long run. Several million still need jobs today so the job growth will need to continue and get stronger. This has been a long 8 or so years economically and financially.

I think you are obviously a ultra right wing plant that is making stuff up! You obviously don't know how much Obama has helped the economy and raised our standard of living! And it's racist to think otherwise!

The DOJ should investigate your blatant racism comrade!
