SUMMARY OF IMPRESSIONS FROM "LOOKING BACK" (above)
==================================================
12/21 Report delayed tonight, sorry. TRINQ got back
in line and VNX/VXO both fell to unusually low
levels. The dollar index was up a little, XGLD
was steady and XOI was up a little.
.
12/20 Our Confidence Index reversed on Friday and is
looking a little weary. Our various indicators are
weakening, too. TRINQ moved up to 6.24. The dollar
index was weak but XGLD couln't take advantage of it.
XOI was up over $6.00.
.
12/17 Our numbers slipped, just a little, but given
the heavy volume I'd say we had a stable close.
The dollar index gave back a little of yesterday's
gain so XGLD picked up a little. XOI was steady.
.
12/16 All good things must come to an end. Leastways,
our COMPOSITE took a pretty good hit on the increased
volume. Today made McClellan do a little dance; it
turned down after turning up yesterday. The dollar
index had a good day gaining all of yesterday's loss
and a bit more. XGLD and XOI gave back yesterday's
gains.
.
12/15 Our Confidence Index is above the bullish level.
I don't wnat to be a kill-joy, but we're getting some
negative divergences in our indicators. Probably
nothing imminent, but worthy of note. The corporate
bond index is very strong and the dollar fell. XGLD
was up $5.50 and XOI was strong, too.
.
12/14 Our Confidence Index has gone positive. The
dollar index was steady, XGLD was a trifle weak
and XOI was steady.
