MEA CULPA:

As evident, I was unable to update this blog this week due to my vacation, sans my heavy laptop. I was able to retrieve the data, as viewed below.
The October Surprise continues to defy traditional October selloffs (word is many funds did it early this year); and so the rubber band stretches further. NYSE new his/lows were outrageous at 650 to 24, with the NAZ a weaker copy; the McClellan Summation also pushes the envelope at 935.
Also nearing optimal levels are the AAII and Invest.Intell. surveys (see below), and the Bullish per cent.Here is the Matrix:
