They're actually called Guggenheim now. But it always used to tell the story, volume would climb up a little over 2.0, we'd reach a high, fall back to around zero for the low. But I'm looking at the volume number of RYVYX got up to just over 500 (I assume it's 500 million) at the 2007 high, never came close to that again, until lately, where now the last three days were 509, 512, 521. So it's just a number I've watched for for a long time, wondering if we would reach it and whether it would be a top. I watch many fund volume numbers. The QQQs seem to tell the long-term story. And I am also wondering, whenever we do start down, if the long/short number will eventually get back down to zero or negative, meaning more money on the short side. That would not be pretty. Just watching and wondering though, not predicting.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08364808768001893094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333088.post-32160400478208617802013-12-05T17:04:55.603-05:002013-12-05T17:04:55.603-05:00Newbie question to Rob:

At the 2007 high, it was only 2.7. But, in 2007, the long number ran in the 300s for several weeks, then jumped over 500 for a single day, right at the final high. So I've been wondering since then if we would ever see a number over 500 on the long side. We hit 509 on Monday, 512 on Tuesday. And every other number I look at in various different funds were also off the charts on the positive side. I can't say this is it, but it sure could be.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08364808768001893094noreply@blogger.com
