run. The dollar index was strong, XGLD fell
and XOI was up.
.
01/24 Well, our Optimism Index is now officially in
pessimistic territory. Our Group Activity Report
shows that we have widespread deterioration (did
anyone catch the preponderance of lower-case (down)
indicators for the first two days of the year.
They're still visible. I should have mentioned it
earlier but lacked confidence in the meaning of
the indication. The dollar index was down a trace,
XGLD was steady, and XOI was up about $6.00.
.
01/21 Our Optimism Index turned a little pessimistic.
The bond index is within pennies of its recent high.
The dollar index gave back yesterday's gain and a
little more. XGLD had a strong day, XOI regained
half of yesterday's loss.
.
01/20 Our Optimism Index fell. Both TRIN and TRINQ
Bretz numbers moved above 6. The dollar index was
strong. XGLD was steady and XOI fell.
.
01/19 Our Optimism Index hasn't give up, yet. The
dollar index was steady, XGLD was steady and XOI
fell a little.
.
01/18 Our Optimism Index went positive. The dollar
was up, XGLD was flat and XOI was strong.
