GZ - my Barron's based indicators for this coming week:

Jan 24 1998 Weekly=Up M=f,Tu=d,W=d,Th=d
VIX=500 points up VGY=sell DJIA mom (377) =near peak Gut feeling - some upside Volatility=increasing Overall-not down
Evaluation:of last week's forecast: Weekly-Real loss Daily-80% wrong Gut feelings: Wrong. was down

Last week was the 4th week in a row with a bad forecast!

Why persist with these forecasts???... well the volatility issue has been correct during the entire period and in fact, I find when the most actives say DOWN and the Oddloters say UP I find it is difficult to predict direction.

Even VIX is mixed... we would be on a 5% sell at this moment except for two indicators which are in direct opposition. The interesting fact is that since the last VIX buy signal, we have had over a 6% move to the upside, low to high!

I think the internal disarray of the market represents the chaos in the "real world" and until the level of unsettled issues (Iraq, SEA and the zipper-gate) goes down, we will continue to see turmoil in the markets.

Well the feets-ball game this weekend should settle things... THEN we will have a reliable indicator to use!

And as far as bonds... we are at the relative level now in which bonds have reversed or flattened but NOT gone up... a continued move up WOULD break that pattern and suggest you are right! Until then, I am still bullish on bonds!
