    Commercials are seldom wrong... they are "the market". They scale into and out of huge positions, with much longer timeframes and pain threshholds than anyone else.

  4. =================
    In the stock market ,200day moving average is still up;
    long term trend is up.

    However as far as derivatives, good point ;
    some small specs were long at the trending toppng area, and cut a loss.

    Some small specs pay atention to 50 day moving average or price; meaning most of thier trades yesterday were short.

    50dma is still down;
    20 day charts are down
    :cool:

  5. I guess we disagree. I'll take the large speculators side - -except this week.

  6. $8 billion still flowed into mutual fund equities in March '07.

    Two months in recent memory that had enormous volatility are September '01 and August '98. There were -$30billion and -$12 billion outflows, respectively.

    Contrast that with one of the biggest 1 day spike in volatility that occured in late Feb of '07 -- which had +$8 billion inflow.

    Something is odd in that picture. Or, maybe there is some other explaination.
