Some of my friends may know about the Big Money Index, an index I composed to gauge the money flow into or out of the equity market. Supposedly the money flow drives the price. So the market, usually represented by the S & P 500 index, will move higher if money flow is positive, and lower if money flow is negative. Most of the time S & P 500 moves along with BMI. Occasionally we may see a divergence, meaning that the money flow is not reflected by the market, yet. Since eventually we expect S & P 500 to follow BMI, such divergence offers good trading opportunities.
I've added BMI to my blog to the lower right corner (http://trustamind.blogspot.com/). Although the chart will be automatically updated every five minutes, you don't have to fix your eyes on it. For one this is mainly for updating S & P 500. For two usually we are looking for a divergence spanning a couple of days.
As of today we see a positive divergence between BMI and S & P 500. So I expect S & P 500 to make new high soon, if BMI still works.
