Re: Sentiment Survey Talk

Originally posted in the Sentiment Survey Talk thread:
I plan rework the data to incorporate the 50-day moving average being above or below the 200-dma, or the slope of the 200-dma. This will change the buy / sell ratios points. I will start it in January.

Very interesting results:

This year (thru 11/14/08) the sentiment survey system is down 42.85% as it has been in the S-fund the entire year because of the overly bearish sentiment.

A minor adjustment to the buy / sell ratios when the 50-day moving average dips below 200-day moving avegae, and the system would be down "just" 10.91%. And it was actually < 2% before last week.

One more "tweak"... If we use the less volatile 100% C-fund instead of 100% S when on a buy signal, and the 50-day MA is below the 200-day MA, the return becomes -7.07% (<1% before last week).

I'll keep a watch on this and probably use this method in 2009.
