The 'commodity futures traders smart money' a little late to this party relative to the monstrous accumulation binge of the 'smart money NYSE stock boyz' as measured by the NYSE Net Balance Index.
Many mocked and few listened throughout my reporting of the NYSE Members Net Balance Index numbers in 2002 and 2003.
It ain't no joke NO MORE.
