SUMMARY OF IMPRESSIONS FROM "LOOKING BACK" (above)
==================================================
12/08 There's a little stirring in the anxiety indicators
but it's not overdone. The bond index spurted to a
high it hasn't seen in a couple of years. McClellan
continued its retreat. The dollar index was up a bit.
XGLD fell $10 and XOI was up slightly.
.
12/07 Our Confidence Index fell to zero. That's fitting
since I mentioned an orderly pullback yesterday and
it turned into a rout today. The bond index is tapping
on its recent ceiling. The dollar index was steady.
XGLD was down a little and XOI continued its fall.
.
12/06 We seem to have an orderly consolidation going on.
The dollar index stabilized, and HUI seems to be
antipating a little more firmness in the dollar.
McClellan is slowly rolling over. XGLD pulled back
a little and XOI was steady.
.
12/03 Our Optimism Index is retreating slowly. The bond
index staged a sharp recovery of its recent losses.
The dollar index gave back all of yesterday's gain, and
more, hitting another new low, so XGLD rallied to a new
high. Interestingly, though, HUI resisted the urge to
fly. XOI had a minor (for it) gain.
.
12/02 Hmmm. Overall volume was up today but everything
wasn't sweetness and light. Our anxiety indicators
(TRIN/TRINQ/VXN/VXO) all edged a trifle higher and
McClellen stalled again. The dollar index had a
pretty good day. XGLD fell below $450 and XOI took
a header.
.
12/01 I think today qualifies as a major bull move, but
tomorrow's a whole 'nother question. Our Confidence
Index is back in ALERT territory and the COMPOSITE
rocketed upward, influenced by today's high volume.
The bond index fell through its November low. The
dollar index fell again. XGLD reached a new high
but XOI fell $14.
