Hi ds,

Interesting idea, I have not looked at that.

Here is the chart:

stockcharts.com[w,a]daclyyay[dd][pb30!b50][vc60]&pref=G

It looks to me like over the last year, the 30 sma has crossed back up through the 50 sma on 3 occasions: June and Sept. 2004, and just recently.

The first occasion last June was followed by a rally lasting about a week or so, then a rather intense correction of about 14% over the next 6 weeks down to the V-bottom reversal of early August.

The next occasion in September was different. After the crossover, we saw just a bit of pullback over a week or so, then a powerful rally that took the index from about $34 to about $40 (over 17%) over the ensuing 10 weeks.

As of today, we have a new crossover:

So on the two previous occasions in the last year, I'd say that 30sma/50sma MAX scenario worked out once, and didn't work the second time.
