Jim McMannis is pretty good at stuff like that. Does he post on this thread? We used to be in contact regularly on the old Prodigy Classic system throughout the 1990's. In fact, he is the one who named my index the Yogi Index. Back then, it was a sentiment reading on the amount of bullish versus bearish posters under the Investment Theory section of the old Prodigy Money Talk boards (we has quite a lot of contributors back then), but it was changed in late 1995 to an overbought/oversold indicator for the overall market, and it has had an excellent record for some time now..... For example, on Friday's close it hit the zero line again which has traditionally been a support or resistance area for the market, and we bounced today to a +1 reading and the market rallied. (the range is -5 to +5, with the "zero line" in the middle) Jim also used to be pretty good at predicting the direction of the XAU index which has been "dead" for a long time now..... Yogi
