1. So the Rich are leaving Stocks and going to government bonds.
This is a loss of confidence in their capitalism. I wish to live in a world of brotherhood and sisterhood. That is called, boo hiss, socialism. Maybe governments need to buy stocks in some companies to help keep stock prices up. I hate capitalism. It is such a weak system, and it victimizes the majority, and only assists a small minority.
