  1. Hi Nic,

    One of the indicators I look at for general market sentiment is AAII Bull/Bear ratio. The newest reading was released today and the ratio is now at 2.37x, the highest reading since 2007. I understand everyone is really excited about QE2, but the optimism seems really excessive now. SPX, UK100 and NDX and pretty much all risky assets have been painful to short recently, but it does look like correction is really overdue. Esepecially if QE2 is not as good as expected.

  3. Alex I definitely agree with you. The only thing that makes me a bit nervous is all the chatter of a trade imbalance deal between the US and China and a *surprise* Yuan revaluation this weekend.
    That would be very positive for risk/equities.

    99 Its a Pomo day and I am not sure what I want to have going into this weekend ...

  7. Thanks Dennis. I was thinking AUDCAD would go a bit higher (1.007), but often when price breaks a major trendline it only retraces to the breakout level and not to a fib or retest the trendline.
