SPECIAL NOTICE – January 2008 The Bull to Bear Barometer calculation utilizes interest rates taken from treasury issues among other reported financial data. These interest rates have been declining recently due in part to a flight to safety momentum caused by heightened uncertainty in the financial markets. Therefore the Bull to Bear Barometer’s reading may be higher than it would normally be. Please remember this website and its free content is not investment advice and should not be relied upon in making investment decisions. UPDATE – January 2009  As creator and publisher of the Bull to Bear Barometer I’ve been asked why I stopped publishing the monthly barometer. I ceased publishing it after the January 2008 update mainly because it was taking too much of my time each month and was not generating any revenue. I’ve also been asked if it gave a Sell signal during 2008. Although I believe it would have signaled a Sell, I just don’t have the data to know for sure if it did or in what month. John Adams

12+ YEAR TRACK RECORD

The Bull to Bear Barometersm is a longer term indicator designed to reveal periods when it is favorable or unfavorable to generally be invested in equities versus fixed income securities. Although the DJIA increased during the period of 1981 through 1985, the average monthly yield on the 10 Year Treasury Note was 12.2% offering very good returns for those investors staying out of the stock market during that time period.
