English term or phrase: keeps his finger on the retail pulse by checking in

But what of the international funds and ETFs sucking so many tens of billions away from U.S. blue chips? Levkovich says the trend simply can't last. While the relative valuation of the 25 largest S&P 500 companies, including recent winners ExxonMobil, Hewlett-Packard, and P&G, is near a 20-year low, flows into emerging-market funds as a percentage of all equity flows is twice the previous peak. The last time he saw flows so disparate was during the last call for tech and growth stocks in 2000. "You can see the fad, and know it's just a matter of time until it blows up," says Levkovich. "When people get worried, they will want the safety of U.S. equities."
For a time, they will. But don't expect 2006 to kick off another 20-year blue chip bull market. One of the byproducts of globalization has been more efficient capital markets, with swifter and larger money flows. That poses a challenge for the millions of investors out there still fixated on big U.S. indexes. Stubbornly sticking with what used to work is a sure way to fail. "The 1990s spoiled us," says Jeffrey M. Mortimer, chief investment officer for equities at Charles Schwab Investment Management. "All you had to do was show up." Mortimer, who keeps his finger on the retail pulse by checking in on Schwab branches, says he's "shocked" by how hard old habits die. "They're looking east for the sunset," he says.
