Tryhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo GOD HELP THEM if you have clients, which i doubt. Hasta la vista baby, as we say here in Ireland.

Here's a method that leaves NOTHING to the imagination, no interpretation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_by_number It's very minimalist. It's been in my bottom desk drawer for 30 yrs, but none of my clients have needed it. Bueno Suerte !! jeremy,

And you say the sweetbreads are particularly good tonight, my wife will have that. And you also like the Kibbeh tonight my young daughter will have that tonight." Madame jeremy: "Honey, 'Monsieur' would have been more appropriate than calling him 'Garçon'." Note: Sweetbreads & kibbeh are not described on most menus. Don't bother to Google them, too much information. :) jeremy: “Garçon, since you recommend the Black pudding, I’ll have that.

Weighing up all the data once a week would seem to me to be a good idea, often some of the indicators conflict, and you are left being a little confused as to the overall sentiment signal. Most technical analysis practioners conclude their analysis, even if sometimes they are wrong, why not do the same with sentiment?

I like the way you presently present the sentiment data . . . lots of info without summaries or conclusions & let us decide. Most traders like to think for themselves as much as possible. This is not the drive-thru window at McDonald's. Babak,

We have to process allot of data, a 1 or two line 2 conclusion might help. Always appreciate your good work.

I'm putting out all the sentiment data for the week I get my hands on and allowing traders to make up their own mind about it. Michael, do you mean <a href="http://www.hussmanfunds.com/wmc/wmc090518.htm" rel="nofollow">this commentary</a>? or the one from last week? jeremy, I thought that’s what I was doing!

He touches on the "cash on the sidelines" fallacy again this week. It is not in near the amount of detail as some of his previous posts but it is still a great piece. I'm a systems trader but love reading people like Hussman. Absolutely without a doubt, the best place to learn something fundamental about the markets and economy is Hussman's weekly market commentary. It free taboot!

Just a few lines would do, no one is 100% right, but if you can do better than 50% that would be an achievement. Great site, many thanks.
