Can't say that i ever recall such a large divergence between the listed and the unlisted markets. In 1987 a similar divergence occurred, with the tech stocks powering to new highs while listed stocks diverged. We know how that ended. <ng> May not happen the same this time around. Here's something to have a hard look at: stockcharts.com Put only 'Energy', and 'Precious metals' up, and expand it back to all data (1997-present). Notice how any large divergence between the two is closed, usually in short order. Shorting the peaking line and buying the bottoming one would have resulted in several quick 30-50% profits. Current chart suggests shorting energy and buying metals. BWDIK, TW
