V FOR VICTORY

The V-Spike is a common Technical Analysis signal, especially when occurring with massive Volume, as the recent (finally) expected October decline of nearly 10%  - a correction area. Since then it has been onward and upward, and I expect more of the same. More commentary (!) at:

Most remarkable of the Sentiment Indicators last week were: New Highs in the DJIA, SPX, Utils and Transports - and the NAS is nearing its record of the 2000 Bubble of 5049. There seems to be a conflict of the Bull/Bear views - the CBOE is high (fear) in the 60s, while complacency reigns in the Surveys - AAII and Inv. Intell., which come out mid-week.

Most remarkable was the Sector line of Insider Selling AND Buying last week - both huge, but the ratio was down to 24 to 1 Sellers (see below). The monthly stats of ETF flows finally came out for Sept. - down in all three categories.
