Two things I'm curious about:

1. Why are the NDX dynamic series funds diverging from the regular series? They are relatively bearish, while the regular series (Arktos/OTC) are still on the bullish side.
Note that the combined assets from all NDX funds have a ratio of 20 which is still above where the market bottomed last April, so I take it that overall the NDX funds are still bullish?

2. Since the SPX funds have gotten to a borderline neutral/bearish level, yet the NDX funds are still pretty bullish, do you think the NDX could do some catchup here while the SPX flounders a bit?

One other thought... looking at the charts (for instance the SPX) it looks like it may be forming a pretty well defined uptrend channel. The NDX and DJIA look the same. Also the SPX has a candle pattern over the past 3 days that looks very bottom-like. So if it does continue going back up without a retest of the 1140 area, you might want to buy back in, and think about recalibrating your intuitions regarding what levels in the SPX funds are truly bearish... looking back at the ratio data I have, even on the SPX data we are still above the areas where the market would top out in bull markets. In other words this could be like the VIX thing- we may be reverting back to levels that are more associated with bull markets... and failure to recognize that could cost you some significant upside.

Keep an eye on silver stocks J.T.

Silver has been holding up better than gold lately and I believe it has possibility to outperform based on demand shortages in the improving economy and also as investment vehicle. Silver trading about 25% less than it costs to get it out of the ground.
