I actually do find this interesting. Where did you find it?

The ETF inflows aren't shocking given the popular sectors have run fairly strong the past few weeks/month. I do find it odd that SPY and VOO are on opposite sides of the inflow/outflow as they are identical and huge.

My personally held utility stocks didn't get the memo yet but I sold covered calls as a dip is likely coming soon enough. I am amazed they ran in DEC in the face of rate hikes coming soon and T rates already rising.

1. Fidelity research tools,
2. I also found that odd when I was reading prior to posting. VOO has the lower expense ratio, and slightly higher yield as well. Go Figure.

I suppose the big picture is S&P wasn't too far from flat this week.  Regularly scheduled 401K inflows come in.  Institutions do what they do and I'm sure some were waiting for the tax year to pass so they could lock in some SPY gains.  Just as some were wise to lock in some losses last month to offset gains for 21.  This is probably the week when it may make the least sense at a glance.
