    YBB, I go to your site for the detail I need.

    I noticed you include sentiment scale [which you did not include in the OP]. Thanks.

    Sentiment Scale: v low << avg - 1*SD; low < avg - 1*SD; below avg, avg, above avg for in-between; high > avg + 1*SD, v high >> avg + 1*SD

    So, +/- 1*SD are thresholds.
    "<" or ">" are just below or above.
    "<<" or ">>" are much below or above.
    Very rarely +/- 2*SD thresholds are reached, so those isn't used.

    Will do.
    The same scale appears in weekly Barron's Part 1.
