  1. Nice charts…same can be said for the shanghi index. Also possible breakout in gold over $1000 without the decline in the dollar can also be a signal off the bear market returning from its hibernation

  2. What are the components of the $SML? Are they the bottom 100 of the SPX cap wise?
    The first chart, $SML:$OEX, is that a net percent difference? There’s only one line.
    Does your comment system have the email notify function where if someone posts a reply to my comment I get a email?
    Thanks
