MARKET SENTIMENT "The pain makes the front page of the N.Y. Times." "When the [Investor's Intelligence] bull-bear ratio shows a definite majority of bears with less than 40 percent bulls, you are in the safety sentiment zone." "I regard the third and one of the 'meanest' indicators to be one of the best: mutual fund withdrawals." 7/16/2008 - Equity Fund Inflows $1.7 Bil; xETFs Equity Fund Outflows -$5.3 Bil "A reading of 40 in the VIX - a measure of pure panic in the marketplace - indicates a market bottom." (NOTE: THE VIX HAS SHIFTED TO A MUCH LOWER RANGE SINCE CRAMER PUBLISHED HIS LIST, SO 20+ IS PROBABLY A BETTER PANIC READING NOW) "Only extremes matter. At every negative extreme ... we have gotten a terrific opportunity to buy stocks ... The oscillator indicator, unlike the VIX, is something that produces almost instant results."
