Bill, you said just a ways back

<<

The SCY ratio relates earnings and dividends on the S&P500 to the 13
week coupon yields. The author of the indicator suggests anything over
1.21 is a buy and anything less than that is a sell.>>

so, as near as I can tell, SCY tells us that a good buy / sell point for equities over treasuries is a 1.21x premium (am I reading this correct?). So, if current dividends and after tax earnings are selling at or below .9x of treasuries, yikes!

hmmm ... aren't earnings going down, too? when those lower earnings show up in the actuals, those aren't going to affect the ratio are they?

and, of course, BWDIK,

Peter

Have you ever seen this risk model before:

There are some other models at the Barnes web site.
I'll be watching for the next spike up.

Hi Bill,

I got the last top right on 12/8, even thou it only lasted a few hours. FWIW (probably very little) I've got 2/8 circled on my calendar. However, we got to contend with Mr G's magic wand. IMHO nothing else is going to crash this market. Clearly, bombs won't do it, political turmoil won't do it, earning's warnings won't do it. What's left besides interest rates?
