John .. Just slightly OT RE: Investor Sentiment and usefulness as a price predictor .. Wednesday, May 30, 2001 2:19 PM ET To: John Busby From: Triffin John .. IQZone Green/Red Ratio Please, please allow one to see a 'chart' of this indicator rather than just a daily value on the "market" button or better yet make the green/red ratio as an "overlay" option in "chart" .. I've been asking you for this for 2 years .. Is it ever going to happen ?? This indicator IMVHO is a very good measure of "investor sentiment" Jim in Ct ..

i find this interesting cause i guess i tell you my story (about sentiment) i did a stock picking contest...starting in july of 99 and ending sept of 99. i think we had 230 entries or so. i spammed it around the web and people entered their picks by a cgi mail thingie i set up. believe it or not the prize was a 3500 entrie to anthony@pacific website...and we have a couple other 300 dollar and 500 dollar prizes...or so i remember....the website is toast so i can't remember exactly....anyway...a lot of water over the damn....but i guess the point of all this....sentiment said...basically that JDSU was like the stock of the century...and sure enough...it pretty much hard to miss during that incredible blow off time period....cause the tech stocks...and the internet stocks just go through the roof....and i guess....if i remember right...the guy that won...well...honestly...i can't even remember...but the stocks just about go through the roof ...that quarter...and i learned a lot...just from behind the scenes...about...well...sentiment...as you say...cause i think...well...it's all a manipulated house of cards...and they basically move what they want to move...based on...the story...and if they want you to make a lot of money in the process....well you do...and if they don't...well...you don't...and they probably take you out and shoot you one way or another...if you an active trader.....but thats just my opinion....thank u very much. ....Lol
