SUMMARY OF IMPRESSIONS FROM "LOOKING BACK" (above)
==================================================
11/03 The dollar index fell and closed below $85, XGLD
was strong, and XOI was stronger. Which of those are
a reaction to political events? My guess is the dollar
index and XGLD.
.
11/02 Our Optimism Index is still positive but turned
down a little today. The dollar index was flat, XGLD
fell over $4.00, and XOI fell about $6.00
.
11/01 The dollar slept along with the markets, but
XGLD was up a little and XOI fell a bit.
.
10/29 Volume contracted and our numbers didn't change a
lot. Some were up and some were down. What strength
there was was on the NYSE. Even though the market
seems to have an undercurrent of bullishness (our
Optimism Index is nicely bullish), it looks to me
like most folks are just hanging around waiting to
see what happens next Tuesday. Part of that thinking
comes from the way TRINQ/VXN/VXO are creeping up and
the fact that the bond index has popped back up. The
dollar index and XGLD were both unchanged, and XOI
recovered about 2/3rds of yesterday's loss.
.
10/28 The indices slowed their mad rush north but still
managed some small gains. Our Optimism Index is bullish.
It's done a good job recently of showing the change in
sentiment. The dollar index was down a trifle, XGLD was
too, and XOI may be falling through support.
.
10/27 The market indices move up strongly, the bond
index fell quite a bit, and the dollar index edged
up a little. XGLD was volatile but ended down.
XOI fell below $700.
