I have been calling up Rydex for total assets in bull bear funds and certain other funds since spring 2000. Been religiously keeping track for all funds everynight since 2001. The simple way I use Rydex is following the Total Assets in the Bearish Funds vs the Bullish Funds. I give more weight to the Dynamic Series Bull/Bear Funds because these funds are leveraged at 200% and came out at the exact same time. I give least consideration to OTC/Arktos relationship as there was a 4 year time difference when these 2 funds opened. Nova/Ursa relationship is less significant today than prior to June 2000 when Dynamic Series opened. Schaeffer's Research has never really reflected this change. I give more weight to money in money market funds as this for me measures trader uncertainty. I use certain sector funds in Rydex to backtest the bull bear funds to their corresponding index they reflect. The easiest way to explain this is the BKX index meteoric run yet no new money (total assets) has been dumped into the Rydex Bank Fund (RYKIX). The esoteric analysis on Rydex can murky my read of simply following the plain vanilla total assets in the Bull Bear Funds. I have not used esoteric NAV adjusted, percentages and different formulas I use to stay long. However, esoteric analysis will become more important as more money starts piling in long and into sector funds with greater conviction. Especially as the Bull Market advances and gains greater acceptance by traders. I will have more to say on this at a future point in time. Best, JT
