United States Equities Post $3.6 Billion Outflows — 9 of Last 13 Weeks Net Selling

The provided evidence strongly suggests the statement is true, although none of the sources contains the exact quote. Multiple high-authority sources, including Barron's and Seeking Alpha, explicitly and repeatedly identify the "Bank of America Flow Show" report as the primary source for this type of market fund-flow data. The Seeking Alpha article is particularly compelling as it specifies a publication date for the report (Dec. 12), which aligns with the context of a weekly fund flow analysis.The consistency across several independent sources in pointing to the same specific, credible primary source (the BofA report) lends high credibility to the statement. It is highly probable that the statement is a direct data point quoted from that report. The potential contradiction from the Facebook post, which mentions inflows to US equity ETFs, does not necessarily invalidate the claim. The term "United States equities" is broad and includes mutual funds as well as ETFs. It is a known market trend for actively managed mutual funds to experience outflows while passively managed ETFs experience inflows; the net result for the entire category could still be an outflow as the statement claims. The irrelevant sources, such as the Instagram post with a coincidental number, are correctly disregarded. Given the strong circumstantial evidence from credible financial news outlets pointing to a single, authoritative origin, the statement is very likely to be accurate.
