Stock buybacks fueling bubble, not households?

Interesting article. Apparently, the bubble has been fueled by corporate buybacks, rather than 401(k). Households have actually been bailing out of the bubble all year long. This seems to be in direct contradiction with my personal experience.

Is this a fair assesment of the situation? How reliable are Federal FLow of Funds figures?
