Jim, Another great contrarian indicator is who the guest is on CNBC and their take on the market. When an unknown fundy or bank guy from East Overshoe says the market is going down further you know the move is over. When Bat Man shows up it's bull time baby. cdaisey@batman-guru.com

Jim, Today's IBD shows the put/call ratio at.36 which is the lowest in over one year. Here is a quote from the article: "Bullishness is running rampant among options players. The put/call ratio finished the week at 0.36, meaning speculators are buying many more bullish calls than bearish puts. Yet they've been giddy for months. They're a more useful contrarian indicator at market bottoms. When everything looks terrible and the option crowd loads up on puts, the market usually rebounds." What might explain this diversion? Perhaps the short-term nature of an exchange traded index? What do you think of SILI? Last quarters earnings were almost 4x over last year's. Is this a sign of future growth? If so, this may be the start of a big move? (on top of a triple already). How's it look technically? The company is owned 80% by Vishay. Thanks, Stu
