You're right that most of the investing public doesn't know about the Rydex type of fund. What confuses me is why then are the Rydex allocations supposed to be such a great contrary indicator to predict what the market will do? Has it been shown to be better than things like AAII surveys, broker recommended allocations, mutual fund cash levels, COT, put/call ratios, and VIX/VXN/QQV?

Is it possible that many of the Rydex investors are actually more intelligent than the general public, and not a great contrary indicator? Does anyone have any historical charting or study that shows a good contrary correlation?

Please fill me in. Thanks...

Aloha
