one problem with the Rydex thing I see is that there are so few ways to play a bearish scenario in IRA's or self directed 401k's....this might skew the rydex ratios in a secular bear market to really huge extremes-at least until more options become available for bearish bets. On the other hand if one is bullish there are a million and one ways to go long ( I am only talking about 401ks and IRA's, but that is still lot of money and you know what they say, during a trend the public is right) So if the public is trying to find ways to be bearish in a bear market, it may be a continuation signal...however there ARE new highs in the bearish funds and not in the general indices, so maybe that is a bullish divergence…but so far fading the rydex bears has been ‘wrong’ it seems… just an opinion...

Hey Chris thanks for posting their summary. where on the site can i find that text each day???? its interesting that they say levls approachng extremes of prior important lows cause they are more extreme than sept 11 2001 and oct 2002. how much more exteme can you get than those lows. It is my opinon that we are very close to the lows on this cycle and i actually stated yesterday at 1030 am that they were in at the 10 am lows. thanks for the location of the DP alert stuff. j
