mr. cramer. now, i know money goes into etfs. but nonetheless, if you told me the numbers from last year, i would have anticipated that mutual funds would be taking in money month after month after month. >> right. i think it's important to point out the etf numbers. i was looking at some of the corporate issuance the other day. the rate of return that you get on this corporate issuance and people move into corporates is so minuscule that it's almost inconceivable with oil at 126, with food rising, with a hidden inflation that could burst out, that anyone who thinks they are going to do anything other than lose money -- >> you're talking about corporate bonds, of course. and the duration risk there, giving a ten-year at less than 2% and many people think if you go out lower than a couple of years, it's certainly going to be higher and yet that seems to be where money is going. later today, i'll speak with jim casey about the high yield market. unbelievable the dynamics in that market and what is going on. more money than they hav

mr. cramer, is, given those numbers -- and by the way, the reason i'm mentioning it in part is because deutschce '06. they've never seen it this high in terms of owning being better than renting. >> i put the apartment real estate investment trust in my cell block on "mad money." they point out, one, you still can't get that darned down payment so people aren't being able to take advantage of it and, second, it really is a remarkable moment in that people -- the numbers are not that strong. there's not a lot of -- you would think that people would want their own home. >> right. to warren buffett's point that he made -- >> the in-laws, people are renting. rates are going up in rents but there are not a lot of new apartments built. i think that's a way to play the deutsch bank blow back. it's not happening. >> we talked about household formation which continues to drive those numbers when they come out every month. >> yep. and we talked about renting versus buying and they made that point. but at this point we don't really see a significance in the housing market and there are the lowest levels
