Hi Steve, suffice it to say I didn't buy in until I saw the market firm up and begin to turn. Also, I scale in incrementally rather than all at once. The Rydex ratio is a good indicator, but does not work perfectly by itself. However, it certainly allowed me to expect that Friday/Mon was coming, and to take advantage of it rather than being short and surprised. The chart clearly shows what levels are considered bullish, neutral, and bearish. A ratio of 12 is still bullish. Personally I don't use it in such a simplistic way, I also look for changes in trend so I don't get trapped long when the ratio fails to bottom out after a rally. Nonetheless, as you can also see on the chart, the results of investing your money long and short based on the simple signals over the past few years would have been quite good.
