Reason for asking is IBD also had an article comparing the flood of new money in 1st quarter into equity funds. Some market observers believed market direction (this is taken directly from IBD) can be determined by mutual fund inflows. If inflows are strong the market will have no choice but to move higher as fund managers use that money to buy stocks. january investors poured 40 billion into new funds, Feb 53 billion, March 35 billion. So 1st 3 months 130 billion and the Nazdaq lost 34 %. Wondering if your having better luck looking at individual stocks on money inflows as Im getting very mixed results.

For daily A/D ratings your best bet is NOT Investor's Business Daily. They only change the ratings of the TOP tech industry groups. I would use rather the Money Flow, Accumulation/distribution rank & value change, Price (value) rank, relative strength rank (of the past 1 day, 2 day, 3 day, 4 day, 1 week, etc) of Financial Software that track those criteria and even more criteria like Change in sector strength in last day 1, 2 days, etc. Investor's Business Daily is more of a weekly way to track unless you use their Daily Charts service. Metastock, TC2000, Telescan tracks these criteria daily, intraday even.. also I would track the Accumulation distribution of the entire sector first because the sector strength is what moves the singular stocks and not vice versa.
