  • Yahoo! VIX (SPX Volatility Index) & VXN (NDX Volatility Index) % Moves vs SPX & NDX - It's very important to compare how VIX & VXN change in relation to SPX & NDX. For example, if NDX rises 10% while VXN falls only 5% then the NDX wall of worry (VXN) has held up very well which is a very sharp rise in fear that portends continued strength.

  • Eerie Nikkei-SPX (S & P 500) parallels - At Zeal. The major averages appear to be near an important top. The ultimate Bear Market low in the US major averages probably won't occur until well after 2010 because the correlation between the Nikkei's post bubble behavior (which began in 1989) and the US major averages (which began in 2000) is very high.
  • Why the Dow Remains Overvalued Even by Bull Market Standards - To revert to the very long term uptrend of the prior primary Bull Market before the parabolic 1995-2000 phase, let alone the ultimate Bear Market low, the DJIA would have to approach 5000.
  • Velocity of Circulation: GDP divided by M3 - At Economagic.com. The rate at which money changes hands is a good measure of economic activity. The velocity of money is in a sharp downtrend and is at it's lowest level in a very long time. At this rate it appears the US will be in a potentially severe recession/depression in the not too distant future. The system is awash with money but the rate at which it's changing hands is in a sharp downtrend. The pace of economic activity is in a sharp downtrend, but has trended up the past two years thanks to massive stimulus in the form of tax cuts, very low interest rates, easy lending practices (mortgages and credit cards), and massive budget deficits.
