With people buying T-bills at that low of a yield, it is apparent that they are more concerned about return OF their capital than return ON capital.

http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/rates/index.html According to the Bloomberg link above, yields on T-Bills are very close to 0. Yield on 3 month T-Bill: 0.05% Yield on 6 month T-Bill: 0.01%

The yield of the 3-month T-bill hit 0.20% today on 3/20/08 so we're getting close to 1941 levels. If the yield goes negative, we know things must be pretty bad. Maverick

The Yield on the 3-Month Treasury Bill (IRX) hit a low of .30% today on 3/19/08. Is this lowest yield that it ever went down to? This is a sure sign of pure panic and flight to safety when people are willing to settle for menial yields like this. Maverick

Yes, I got a k-1 for trading USO. In fact, everyone that traded USO should have received a k-1. Maverick

Thanks. I'll take a look at the instructions and see how to file tax returns for USO with the K-1. Never had to deal with a K-1 before. Kinda caught me by surprise to get one, especially for trading USO. Maverick

Is anyone familiar with reporting taxes regarding USO? I recently received a schedule k-1 for USO. I had bought and sold USO during 2007. Thanks, Maverick

As a confirmation to your bp indicator, it appears that the bullish percent on the NYSE, Nasdaq, S&P 500, and S&P 100 were all up for the day as well. Maverick

What you say is confirmed by the Bullish Percent of the S&P 100 Yesterday, it was 28.00 Today, it was 27.00 Nonetheless, 30 or less is relatively good field position. Maverick

Hi, I keep several bullish % indexes too. Just wondering, what company or website do you use to create your bullish% indexes. I use stockcharts.com Thanks, Maverick

It would be interesting to see how this decade's performance of the Dow would compare to the 1930's if adjusted for the value of the dollar. Maverick

Does anyone know what company or website provides historical data for Bullish Percent (Point and Figure), % above 50 DMA, and % above 200 DMA for different sectors (ex Energy, Financials, Transports)? Maverick

Per Bloomberg.com, the Yield on the 5-Year Inflation Indexed Treasury is currently -.05%. Is this a typo? http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/rates/index.html Maverick007

What you say is true. However, in the cases shown above, the gap between the S&P 500 and its 200 day moving average narrowed more as a consequence of the S&P 500 rallying strongly than the 200 day moving average moving lower.

Assuming that the S&P 500 reaches 1260 or less tomorrow on 1/22/08, the S&P 500 would be nearly 5 standard deviations below its 200 day moving average. No other events come close: July 23, 2002 S&P at 4.26 SD below its 200 day MA Sept 21, 2001 S&P at 3.43 SD below its 200 day MA...

Xiangfin, There are several third party services that verify performance. One that I have seen is TimerTrac at www.timertrac.com They provide a graph of the verified performance of your strategy versus your chosen benchmark. In addition, they provided the verified statistics which include...

Thanks for the info above. Are there any companies that specifically verify the performance of registered investment advisors? And has anyone had experience with TimerTrac and how they are as a third party verifier of performance? :) Maverick

Does anyone have a current reading on the Barnes Index? If so, what website would it be available on? Given that the Barnes Index measures the relative value of stocks to bonds, it would be interesting to see what the current reading is, given how low interest rates are. Thanks...
