Chip,

A couple of things here:

I use the following from Barron's:
- Oddlot short sales on the NYSE. Bearish for the coming week as it was LESS than last week's figure.
- SCY data - still very bearish in the low .8s.
- Ratio of OI equity calls to OI index puts. At around 30.... it is at record highs and indicates rampant speculation.
- Traders' Committments - not available this week - I use the trend of what the big guys are doing vs small guys.
- Most active $ on NYSE. The low Wednesday below $40 indicates speculation also.
- Market Watch - benign - I look for one-sidedness (if there is such a word) and the other side is usually the way the market goes!
- Lesser of new highs and new lows daily... 2 day average EXTREMELY high over 90. This tells me there is a disconnect between the average and the leaders... and is especially ominious given the market level and direction.

This is all INHO and all the caveats - BWDIK???

(Read Stock Market Logic by Norman Fosback - I think it is it's 5th printing or so - and you will get a better appreciate of what works and what doesn't.)

Bill
