unless you have indicator failure. Wouldn't most of the RYDYX ratios be accumulated during a long bull market? The 18% of assets in bear funds is high, but is it a high if we are in a secular bear? perhaps not. Perhaps new levels will be established- bear market levels. This could explain in part the failure of RYDEX over the last month or so. Don't many established indicators fail as long term trends change?

Maybe it is not different this time, maybe if RYDEX levels were kept during the last long bear they might add up favorably. Meaning in fact it is the same this time, the same as other secular bears. That is of course assuming we are in a secular bear.

>>This is a great picture of bears/trolls heading for destruction<< you means the orcs in the great battle of Enronia?

What do you get when the football field gets flooded 4 feet deep? Must be a different game altogether - like, the players have to swim. Etc.

OTC was practically nonexistant during the last real bear.
