SAME OLD SAME OLD

Although there was some Volatility while I was enjoying the liquid sunshine in San Diego, the two weeks of market action and Sentiment Indicator movement was rather benign. O-Bomb-A (the Nobel Peace Prize winner) and Hairy Reed moved Bo-ner to tears several times, but the markets wound up about where they left off in Sept.

The late Bullish surge took the VIX down and the specu ratio of Nasd to NYSE Volume up; the huge Insider Selling of two weeks ago at 180:1 over Buyers ameliorated to only 42:1. Commercials selling Gold remains high, @ 70k contracts in the COT tables. And MMF flows were out for the two weeks, after being inflows of $36B before.

Here are the numbers:
