Bob/Caroline-
Uhh...excuse me but I think I missed something here:  are 
you two talking about
the STOCK MARKET, COMMODITIES, GOLD?  Caroline, if you are 
talking about gold
I am told that Market Vane is good for contrary opinion 
and sentiment; for
commodities.  I don't follow it, or know very much about 
it, but you can google
marketvane.com or something similiar.
I think the problem is how one defines the universe of 
opinion/sentiment and how it is
quantified:  by what they say, or what they do with their 
money; or maybe both?
This is probably a project in itself and I don't know much 
about the history
of such data, and the differences and nuances.
