The other indicators also point to more pain ahead. re SPY:IEF, what are we looking at exactly? I mean the rationale for the ratio? Brandon, thanks :)

Now, taking in consideration your article "When Magazine Cover Indicators Clash", and being this one from The Economist, I doubt to take it as a pessimistic contrarian indication, specially in a bear market and in mid-term. Time magazine seems a better one :) Interesting: check SPY:IEF in Stockcharts (stocks/treasuries). Recovered important horizontal support, now in pullback. Little room to fall. (Unless a finantial meltdown, that is). Good cover.
