What the Drudge Report Can Tell You About the Stock Market | Breakout - Yahoo! Finance

"What the takeaway is, is that once Drudge is talking about it [a financial story], and everyone is talking about it, then the market has digested it," says Hickey. So what we have is a classic contrary indicator. When Drudge financial headlines rise, the market is at or near bottom."

Google Trends is good here. Just type in a term and hit enter. For example, 'stocks' peaked in 2008 but has been trending lower the past 4 years and is at a 7 year low according to Google. Interesting. So then i queried 'dividend stocks' thinking that's where retirees are putting their money. It's an opposite trend higher and sitting near a 7 year high.

Another one is 'gold'. It's remained stagnant the past 7 years.
