BETTER LATE...

After a whirlwind wedding in Redding, I settled in to do the latest Sentiment readings:
Commercial gold traders still remain high in selling - down slightly from the prior week; insider selling of stocks is still also high - both officers/board and 10% owners.
The AAII Bulls jumped up 6 % points, Bears down slightly.
I shall be off again on vaca next week with no means to update this column.

Here are the numbers:

With record numbers of dollars coming out of Money Market Funds, mostly into the crowded trade of short term bonds, anyone who has a minimal knowledge of covered call options and/or an interest in hedging stock market exposure might want to check out: brentleonard.com for an alternative strategy that is low-risk as well as highly rewarding.
