Was watching BNN earlier to-day. Private equity funds are sitting on $500 billion of cash and the 2 year window for investing this money is quickly closing. Please note that private equity fund managers are not paid to sit on cash. They are paid to manage invested assets and cash is not considered an "invested" asset.

LOL, those well-dressed, smooth talking, mainly white male punters are hungry for 2/20, something similar to crystal meth in terms of addiction and potency to take risk.

Risk is just another 4 letter word like cash, not the 4 letter F word. The latter is for the sheeple who are desperate to get yields no matter what.

Can't blame them too much cause they want to be the following kind of people. They feel they are entitled to these entitlements and ironically share the same mindset like the unions members on the left.

Sitting on $500 billion perhaps...but it wouldn't have all come in at once.

Anyway...what is your question...or if not a question what is the point of knowing this? They probably can't buy publicly traded stocks, so no impact on equity markets. Perhaps more companies being taken private? But that can't happen all at once either.

$500 billion (more or less) will find its way into the public equity market either by taking public companies private or the folks who sold their private companies will re-invest the money in the public market. Money drives markets higher.

If it came back to equities, and all at once, perhaps it would have an impact. But with trading volume on equities in the US over 20 trillion per year, and the fixed income market much larger than that I'm not sure that $500 B would be all that noticable. However, I agree it would be a bullish thing...just not necessarily anything that one could pick out of the noise.
