Gillard GoatMeter - 52.5/47.5 to the Libs

Time for the first update in the new Year. After the last two new polls from Essential and NewsPoll we have the Coalition extending their lead over Labor. And it's an election year. Doesn't look good for Gillard.

ARM'ing the ASX

As a night time side project from my day job, I have been busy honing my Java skills, creating a program that downloads price information for the entire ASX from Yahoo Finance and then calculates the ARMS index (or TRIN). The TRIN is a useful little technical tool and can give you insight into general market sentiment. To calculate, use the following formula :-  (Number of stocks increasing/Number of stocks decreasing)/(Volume of stocks increasing/Volume of stocks decreasing) Over last two days, the TRIN has gone from 0.88 to 0.89, indicating that buyers are in the asendency at the moment (anything under 1 means people are buying, over 1, people are selling) A figure at around 0.9 is always a good sign for the bulls and a great indicator that the All Ordinaries will continue to increase at least in the short term However the fact that it is going up slightly indicates that maybe the rally is starting to stall.

In regards to how many kids get prescribed puberty blockers in Australia, only WA and QLD provide info. WA  - 20 kids between Jan 1 and Oct 31 2025 (so that would be extrapolated to 24 for the full year). WA has approx. 194,789 kids between 10 and 14 in 2026 (extrapolated from 2016/2021 census growth), ...
