>>>Do not rely on any one indicator<<<

Certainly would never do such a thing <g> I agree with what you wrote pertaining to the COT however the trend in their net short position has gone from -9% to -1% over the past month. They are still net bearish on the SP 500. I actually look for the techs to lead this advance partially due to short covering and the small caps to lag if we get thru the 1760/70 area. The BPNDX got down to its bounce area and many techs have hit major long term support levels. Im looking for a 1/2 month rally here not a breakaway bull market (see prior post). Should we print 1685 I'm out of my long positions. Gives me about 40 pts of downside risk from my entries today. Time will tell as always...

West...i get it through a proprietary/subscriber site but will try to keep the thread abreast of any significant changes/trends in the data as they arise. The data is updated weekly.

Cots are still HEAVILY short the S&P

They are still short the Naz (mainly via minis) but not by as much.

If you place so much importance on this then why do not place any importance on COTS being hugely short gold?
