Freeper - I put your question to Lee, who tracks this stuff - this is his answer and his charts are at the link below - marketswing.com Challo - Just got home and can only stay for a second. At first glance, I see no change in the COT except for a lot of shorts added in the S&P mini and then suble small longs in both the NDX large and NDX mini that add together for a large change to teh long side. Other than that, not much change in the S&P large, the DOW, S&P 400 etc. Of note, this is the first time ina while the two NDXs went the same way long and it brought them up near flat to only being short 1.5%. Unless they were selling hard Wednesday and Thursday, they missed today's drop. As to the last time they were long, there was a 2 week period where they were long less than 5% in Sept 2000, about flat to 1% long in July 2000 and about 15-20% in March 2000. They stayed short in the SPX though since March 2000 and had it piled on hard since May 2000 only lightening up to about 3% short in Sept last year before the big rally started. Here is the COT for today cleaned up a bit. The full reports are at the usual COT link above. I haven't done the charts for the COT for today yet and will do those tonight since I have to get back to work. Here is the data though for today's release....... marketswing.com
