10-YEAR SENTIMENT INDICATOR RECAP: Tuesday, GGU, 3 p.m.

Tomorrow afternoon I shall be evaluating the Sentiment Indicators' efficiency over the past decade, along with the DITM investing strategy which prevailed over the decade's zero interest rate and zero stock appreciation (before the recent rally). Several were quite successful in marking excessive levels before reversals.

One of the best, albeit more breadth than sentiment, was the Bullish per cent, which is at its high (as is the Nasdaq for 4 years); my cumulative A/D continues to make all-time highs, although the McClellan Indices do not.

Corporate Insider Selling is an astounding 125:1 over Buying - I knew college costs were expensive, but wow! Money continued to flow into mutual funds, but also reversing into MMFs as well.
