Let’s pretend we live in a global where there is a discrete amount of “real” money that is investable in the short-run. In other words that long-term investors have fully allocated their investments and any change in their demand for investments only occurs in the long-run. We can imagine this sort of like a world of dollar cost averagers who put some collection sum of money aside for investment at the end of each calendar year.
