Are you calling a top then? The top callers are still missing in action(imo). Is this then a good sign for da bears?

Imo it is also likely that this move down will stop the general indices somewhere around Oct/Nov '06 area, plus or minus. This will be just enough to leave us guessing. If they go much further than this, there will be little doubt.

Wood wrote a decent piece on Dow Theory, just to remind us of what it actually means.

I will also add that IF this is a Big Top, this downward move will go a long ways and go lower than the '02 lows. It will last for 5 yrs or so. I do not think we will know this for certain until late next year. Such a move however will be highly deflationary, and we will probably then see the 30 yr. go to 3.5 % or so before it bottoms. Yum Yum for refinancing again.

I believe we are still within a global deflationary environment. The nacent inflation we have had is a precursor of what is coming, when the switch is made. The LT chart of the 30 yr rate is something. When it turns up, it will do so for a long time, and will eventually hit new highs. Maybe many of us older geezers will be dead by then, dunno.

Gold may likely put in its best performance with a rising dollar, as opposed to a falling one. Volker will be missing in action.
