Hi Ray, So nice to have names...I tried to be just P&F for a while but my God given name seems to work better :-) I passed your original question on Mutual funds to the Big Guy. I admittedly am not proficient in mutual funds and wanted to give Tom a crack at it. I'm going to call him in a second and will remind him to look at it. He is hopping around these days 'cause of the indicators. I don't know where you can find exact dates. I researched all his reports one time for approximate time frames but not exact dates. When things turn you will know by reading this thread within one day of the turn. I've promised everyone this. What you are talking about is market timing. Sector rotation works well with this but there is much to be said for holding long term, especially if you have bought quality stocks. Depends on your style. You could hold and initiate puts or covered writes to "insure" securities. Etc etc. Mutual funds you can't insure, from what I know. Maybe you could buy puts on indexes to counterbalance. I'll pass Toms response as soon as I get it. Take care, Jan I am

Hello Ray, Lunch time. Which means market update time. Your post relative to tracking the Bullish% Index against the S&P 500 is a right on. Sometime ago I sent a fax to Mike Burke at Chartcraft requesting reversal dates and he never replied. (He'll answer simple telephone questions but I'm confident he is not going to reply to the reversal date request.) I actually wanted to run a number of different scenarios with the Bullish% against the 500. I was discussing this recently with another P&F'er and we found it somewhat odd that none of the big guys had run these comparisons. Why not? It seems like such a natural thing to do. I couldn't find a spot that provided S&P 500 daily information for more than a year. Did you? If you get the Bullish% reversal dates, I'd be delighted to run some excel stuff with you and compare notes. Good Investing, Eric
