SWIMSUIT EDITION:

Get your attention? And now for this commercial!!: After many weeks' gestation period the arrival of the Zero (In)Tolerance book by yours truly is about to be born - after the proof is vetted today or tomorrow. It will be available for under $15 at Amazon.com/3431050 (please see www.brentleonard.com for any changes).

As mentioned previously. this book is about a low risk, high return alternative to punitive zero short term rates for prudent investors which look to be with us for an "extended" period.

Bearish sentiment has ameliorated since the recent rally after the 9% downdraft due to the banking crackdown. Outlier extremes include CEO Insider Selling and equity mutual fund outflows increasing. Also, breadth has rebounded nicely with adv/dec. on the NYSE at 5:1 and NY new highs/lows at 342 to 7 last week - and the McClellan Oscillator shot from 1 to over +50, nearing my caution area.
