Wow, nice observation. I completely forgot about the correlation of the DOT with the Biotech Boom in the early 90s. At least it hasn't come to my thoughts in months anyway. I do not have Sector Specific Charts, at least not older ones such as the BioTech craze of the early 90s but I have a visual image of what you are saying. I recall getting beat up in that, probably part of the reason why I blocked it out of my mind recently. I think I might be prone to disagree that Expiration is bullish. I would think the opposite merely because of where the large O.I. "should" be. Most likely it's weighted to the Put side, though I cannot say any longer, I no longer have information on such activity. Besides, I think we are conditioned to believe that Expiration is Bullish because we are used to being exposed to it at the tail end of an uptrending period of days if not weeks. As far as the ANNs, I have not even updated mine in months. I have to re-configure the damn things. As you might recall, I was doing better with Patterns than Nets and I suppose it was a case of "follow the money". As I became more involved with "tricking" out the patterns, so to speak, I had less time for the Nets. Too bad in your case, I recall you were doing very well with MU and other techs. If you could have found the time to use them it might have been worth the effort for you.
