Over $1 trillion in 2018 alone. Take that out of the equation and the market would be tanking. The worst part is, these companies, that are supposed to have the best interest of their shareholders in mind, keep buying at the top of the market. If you had the shares to sell, this last year would have been the time to get out because the gravy train can't keep going on forever.
