sweefraapp Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Just eye balling that last chart, it looks like which ever one is on top does more of the reconciling and has larger moves than the one on the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Another strange sentement indicator I'm using. This one shows the ratio of the S&P to the put call ratio. The moving average and the ratio have once again turned down. This is bearish. This indicator rose during the bull and has fallen throughout the bear. We are back on track. Rich, this chart isn't really saying anything useful. Since, with a very few exceptions, the monthly $CPC is a number slightly below 1 (and with little volatility), dividing the $SPX by it has little impact on the look of the chart: Regards, Vesselin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stories Stock Market Update 12/12 06:11 U.S. Asbestos-Related Stocks Rise in Europe, Led by Halliburton, Honeywell By Ben Richardson London, Dec. 12 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks fell in Europe before a report expected to show that retail sales excluding cars rose last month at less than a third of October's pace. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer, declined. ``The outlook for the retail sector and consumer spending is pretty lacklustre,'' said Geoff Paton, head of U.S. equities at Abbey National Asset Managers. He recently trimmed holdings of BEA Systems Inc., a maker of software for running Web-based programs, and Intel Corp., the world's largest chipmaker. Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp. dropped after an Air Force official said they are losing money on a program to develop a booster rocket for U.S. military satellites. Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. slid after the Wall Street Journal reported that the drugmaker used questionable methods to boost profit. Bristol-Myers, whose accounting is already under investigation by U.S. regulators, shed 12 cents to $27.03 in Germany. The company inflated earnings by dipping into money set aside for reorganizing operations and by selling assets in amounts too small to require disclosure, the Journal reported, citing interviews with 27 unidentified former and current executives at the company. The Labor Department will probably report today that the number of workers filing initial jobless claims increased to 380,000, up from 355,000 the previous week, based on the median of 30 economists' forecasts. Both the jobless claims and retail sales reports are scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Washington time.
