>>seems to be a good indicator of bull markets though<< True....I used to measure this with the dotbombs a few years back...usually when you see over 1000 posts..there is upward pressure. Actually on the 20th (Victoria Day) BGO was the highest trader in the (sector) U.S. with 9 Mil. shares. Tuesday saw 15 Mil. counting the TSE. Stole the idea from John Naisbitt (Megatrends) about 18 years ago..who made most of his forecasts by measuring with a ruler (wonder if he did this with Viagra hehe) the length of an article for any given subject in all the major U.S. newspapers. Over the period of a year, or so...he could tell what people found important..and what was no longer interesting.
