That’s a mighty impressive post hoc, propter hoc set-up there, Idaho.

If the DJ is up, it’s, “I told you so.” If it doesn’t, well, they just couldn’t pull it off.

Do you do kid’s parties?

This is all great data. But it provides absolutely no analysis.

It’s important to do the forward or historical analysis because sometimes data is not as positive or negative as one would think.

That’s why Jason does such an absolutely great job at Sentimentrader. He not only shows you the data, but also shows you the historical results going forward from that data. Sometimes the results are surprising.

Yes, this is a negative divergence. I agree. But what are the average results from such a divergence? That’s where the real work is.

To me, this looks like a run for “higher quality” large caps to weather the storm. Smaller cos are dropping while the bigcos hit new highs…

Can the Dow 30 be manipulated through the Nov elections with Q3 earnings reporting just around the corner? We will soon see if the men behind the curtain can pull it off…

You gotta see this. Excuse me while I puke.
Is this for real? If so, I think we can chock one up for the market manipulation “tin foil” heads.
