SUMMARY OF IMPRESSIONS FROM "LOOKING BACK" (above)
==================================================
12/29 The dollar index was steady, XGLD fell almost
$8.00, and XOI was up a little.
.
12/28 Today had the kind of action I thought we'd have
yesterday. Is it a flash in the pan? Our Confidence
Index is getting enthusiastic. The dollar index was
unchanged, XGLD and XOI were both down a little.
.
12/27 McClellan weakened. The dollar index fell
through its early-December low. XGLD was up.
XOI was down.
.
12/23 No highly polished and incisive commentary tonight.
.
12/22 Our Confidence Index is improving ... slowly.
The dollar index was steady today, XGLD fell a
little, and even old XOI slipped a little.
.
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.
