SUMMARY OF IMPRESSIONS FROM "LOOKING BACK" (above)
==================================================
11/26 The dollar accelerated its rate of decline, so,
naturally, XGLD had a good day and XOI did, too.
.
11/24 The dollar index resumed its plunge into the
netherworld. XGLD edged up a little and XOI
continued its moonshot.
.
11/23 McClellan, after a very brief hesitation resumed
its uptrend. The dollar index keeps trudging southward.
XGLD gave up a trifle and XOI was up again.
.
11/22 It was a better day than I anticipated but our
Optimism Index oozed a little lower on the bullish
scale and I think we're still consolidating. The
dollar index dribbled lower, XGLD liked that and
XOI was positively ecstatic, closing at a new high.
.
11/19 Our Confidence Index is retreating and our COMPOSITE
took a hard hit but they don't seem particularly severe
since the consolidation was expected and options
expiration after a strong run made this a tough day.
Today's hit was severe enough that even Ol' McClellan
stumbled. The dollar index gave back yesterday's gain.
XGLD closed at a multi-year high. XOI didn't make it
to a new high ... but it tried.
.
11/18 The dollar index recovered yesterday's loss.
XGLD tapered off a trifle and XOI moved up near
the top of its trading range since late October.
