 SUMMARY OF IMPRESSIONS FROM "LOOKING BACK" (above) 
 ================================================== 
 01/04 Our Optimism Index went negative.  For those who keep 
    an eye on my Group Activity Report, you can see that the 
    rating has taken gas.  That's relatively unusual and 
    suggests confirmation of the widespread malaise we see 
    in the indices.  I can't say whether the sell-off has been 
    overdone, but it has been quite sharp.  TRIN popped up 
    today.  McClellan was weak.  The dollar index had a very 
    strong day, up over a buck.  XGLD and XOI both fell. 
  . 
 01/03 Our Optimism Index is looking a little glum 
    tonight.  VXN/VXO are trending up.  The dollar 
    index was up, XGLD was down and XOI tanked. 
  . 
 12/31 Our Optimism Index is finishing the year at 
    a bullish level but in a bit of downtrend.  The 
    dollar index made back yesterday's loss, XGLD edged 
    up a little, and XOI was steady. 
  . 
 12/30 McClellan seems to have bottomed (for now).  The 
    dollar index slipped a little, XGLD and XOI were steady. 
  . 
 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 Optimism 
    Index is getting enthusiastic.  The dollar index was 
    unchanged, XGLD and XOI were both down a little.
