That's because you have no experience with the real world. I do estate planning. I often see investors keep hundreds of thousands of dollars uninvested in their accounts. It is usually parked in a money market account. This is often done by investors who have, perhaps, cashed out of bonds or equities because they feel that particular market is going to go down, so they park it in their money market account so that it at least draws some interest. They then will reinvest it if they feel the market will make a move upwards. > > But in any case, it appears to me as though the source > is talking about those who profit illegally from > insider info--"Take the money and run" before anybody > notices. > > <snip> > > Here is another unnamed source with a contrary view. > > > > "Some cite an alleged occurance of a $2.5 million gain that hadn't > > been claimed as of September 29, 2001.
