Initial Comments, 22/2/2010


If we live in a bullish world, what would you expect?

1. Up Volume to Down Volume would support a bullish view, i.e., if we have a strong day on the stock market, we would have a ratio of UpVol/DownVol strongly biassed to the Up Volume side.

2. Risk Aversion would be in evidence - Small Ordinaries would be stronger than the stodgy old, safe stocks in the 50 Leaders.

So ... what happened today.

The stock market was strong. Up 1.6%.

UpVol/DownVol Ratio was almost level at 1.06.

The SO/50-L Ratio was ... wait for it ... 0.72

These are big divergences. How will they resolve?

We shall see.

In the meantime, I'm making money on the long side - but I feel more and more that I'm in a game of "pass the parcel" with fewer and fewer participants.

Cheers
