coolhand's Account Talk

So, looks like the smart money (NAAIM) has been neutral to bearish for this current year. And leaning bearish for the last 5 weeks. But this market is tricky, isn't it? I knew when I left back in July that things were going to get challenging at some point and it would not be business as usual when that time came. Even for the smart money. I'm not planning to get into a regular posting habit again, but let's see what NAAIM does tomorrow. My overall perspective is not bullish at this time, but rather quite wary. And the man behind the curtain is sweating bullets right now. Remember that scene from Oz? It's all smoke and mirrors.

Hey CH, Just wanted to say Hi. Just happened to notice you were looking around.

I've used the average numbers provided here: https://www.naaim.org/programs/naaim-exposure-index/
to track the change from week to week on a relative basis but it doesn't give all the info that CH did.

It could be this 'Exposure Index,' will take some noodling to figure out... maybe back test CH's comments? :cheesy:

Thanks for all your insights and commentary over the years, it's helped me allot. I remember when you said your departure from regular commenting was imminent, glad you kept going as long as you did. Now, where exactly does than NAAIM reading come from?

That's my question too. Shame on me for not paying more attention, because I'm certain it was discussed. I have been to The National Association of Active Investment Managers - NAAIM and it's still not clear to me how Coolhand condensed what is there into his commentary. I haven't found any other good sources for explanation either.

But why? Anything you care to share aside from the market? You've touched upon worldly things a few times. Just wondering if such events have taken you in a new direction. anyhow be safe, in His mighty power.

I am very sad to see you go Coolhand. Your posts are always a must read and I have also really enjoyed your insights on those things seen and unseen.

May God continue to bless you in all you do, and I hope you stop by often Best wishes and Take care! :smile:

Now I need to let you know that my time on this board is coming to an end (at least as a regular poster). I said at least 2 years ago that I was planning on discontinuing my posting soon, but that I did not know when. As it turns out, I kept going at least a year longer than I anticipated. I hope you learned how I interpret the charts and NAAIM as well as my breadth chart. It isn't all that hard and I don't get distracted by all the noise. I will pop in from time to time and if I do see anything of note, I'll let you know, but my daily posting is done. I wish you all the best.[/QUOTE]

Dannyboy has always been happy to see your posts. I have always kept you in my prayers for the posts you make are both informative and just vague enough to stimulate my brain to think of a lot of possibilities. Comeback as often as possible.

CH,

Sorry to see you move on. Your posts were a daily read for me. Your daily posts were a great contribution to this site and you will be truly missed. Good luck in your future endeavors and please don't be a complete stranger. There have been a few friends that have moved on and just disappeared. Pop in once in awhile and stay on the fringe so we can all stay in touch. Again. Good luck and enjoy.
