1,000 POINTS OF DARK!:

Talk about mood swings! The last 2 weeks have seen intraday swings of nearly 1,000 DJIA points, mostly on European news - today's big upswing is due to more great news from them - LEVERAGE of CMBSs to solve the debt problem - why didn't we think of that before?
While most sentiment indicators are stuck in "eyes in the headlights" of the Sept.-Oct. period, equity mutual funds have seen losses of $75B the past 6 months - a good contrarian sign. Exceptions include week-to-week swings on the McClellan Oscillator, from plus 47 to minus 42 -pretty much my entire bounded range, now indicating (today's) market rise - at least short term; i.e. end-of-quarter. Although new highs to new lows are 1:12 on both the NYSE and NASD, up-down stocks (A/D) swung from  plus 1318(net) to minus 2431.
Bull/bear surveys remain inverted (Bullish FOR the market), with the AAII 25 vs. 40; and insider selling is down to 10:1, hardly climactic. My recently followed indicator - Commitment of Traders- finally show small traders net short for the past 4 weeks, although large traders have been short for months (smart money).
As seen below, my matrix of indicators has resurfaced after I was sabotaged by googledocs; thanks much to the able help of my expert tech person in Florida. If anyone wants very reasonable and experienced (30+ years, including NASA) online help, please contact him at :gort3ster@gmail.com. I guarantee he is much less than the recent quote I got elsewhere at $125/hour.
