Hi JT; I hope I see something in tonight's RYDEX that indicates a lot more
bearishness ( capitulation ) than you seem to see.
As of last night it just wasn't there at all, at least not from the angle I'm
looking at the data.
----------------------------
I've simplified my overview..I'm now looking at the NAV change percentage to
Average NAV VS the Total Assets change to Average Assets Change.
In other words a lower TA don't mean capitulation not even a much lower TA
not if he NAV is dropping faster than the TA and that's the case with both
Nova and OTC.
This NAV % vs TA % seems to LAG some but it's scary to see that
NOVA traders were more bearish AUG 17th than now yet we are down
16% since then ! However they are 4% more bullish !!!

There is no despair & no toss in the towel by the retail gang ,
as far as I can see the lower we go the more bullish they get.
So far The big drop in TA is from the market tanking not people bailing
out, you would think that with a 16% drop in NAV money would have come
out but not so; the net NOVA flow from AUG 17 is still on the plus side.
I guess they want their heads handed to them on a plate before
they sell. Maybe today will show some capitulation, but I doubt
it. Looks like to me by the time it gets here there won't be much
for them to salvage, the pros are taking this market down
and feeding the mullets just enough hope to string them
along.
----------------------
If I talk about a bottom it will be a short term bottom I'm talking about,
for some years I've seen a black hole in front of this market,
But I was convinced it was far enough in front of us that one last
Big rally would still come before we fell in it.
I see to much damage done now to get back above March 2000 before
the gravity pulls us in the black hole, & with all these lay offs I don't see
enough time left to shore up the pension funds before
retirement payments exceed anything the remaining working stiffs
can cram into the market.
The Gov will have to prop up the market in a last stand,
but that's what Japan did..and they are now hitting 18yr lows.

Jim
