E!...I kinda like the way you sort out those indexes... And portfolio experience recently confirms your placement of the Indexes into the categories: Example: WSX..yes, I am seeing the Small Cap funds suddenly waking up: FUSMX, OAKSX, OBEGX, VWMCX..so, confirms..or XOI..FSTEX, energy/oil service, jumps 3.9% in one day..confirms... This could be useful! Where do we look for the periodic postings? (And thanks) ..TSO

E That's some really great stuff! I like the predictive power of those groupings. Though I do not know squat about most of those indices the way you broke it down reminds me very much of something I've seen in Bloomberg Personal from Merrill Lynch. Not sure what they do there exactly but I think it does involve looking at all stocks and categorizing them as oversold, overbought etc. Then grouping the stocks per sector and ranking them in the way you hinted. Not sure if their methodology is nearly the same as yours but the end results are the same - a grouping of the various sectors into overbought/oversold/normal etc. Taking it a step further it would be interesting to see just how the rankings were in October of last year. Were they for instance all in groups 4 or 5? I bet most would have been. It stands to reason that a market top would have all the sectors as oversold and thus a time to bail. I think that's what the ML sector analysis showed though I can't find any of my magazines right now and am therefore guessing. ---- BTW SMOD was the ranked at the top of it category in Forbes ASAP's list of the 100 best technology companies: From that article, a "most excellente" quote from Ajay Shah your SMOD CEO: "The most important computer will be the one you don't know exists, not the one on your desk." ---- (And if anyone was wondering LSI was not on the 100 best list. In semiconductors Rambus was first, INTC second.) ---- Shane.
