SUMMARY OF IMPRESSIONS FROM "LOOKING BACK" (above)
==================================================
12/10 Volume moderated a bit today and our indicators
were mixed. The dollar index was up, XLGD was down
and XOI gave back the gains of the past two days.
.
12/09 Much ado about nothing. We had good volume, but
went nowhere. The dollar index edged up, XGLD gave
up a little and XOI ticked up.
.
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.
