LOL.... you too have a great weekend up there in God's
country.

well is anyone getting bearish on this market?

CSCO within a buck or two of it's 200 DMA.

QCOM is now below it's 200 DMA and has made a new
low for the move down.

I see the Jun TBond has fallen below it's 200 DMA today.

the Jun 10 YR is right on a fragile suport line.

portfolio management). Also focus this morning on Washington Post article by Jo

Recommendations
>Jun 10Yr Note: Daily stochastics gave a sell signal. Weeklies in a sell signal
We are back to a more neutral outlook ahead but inability to rally is troublesom
the 6.50+% yield region or about 95-00 area. Our bias is not to get too bleak i
market's ability to hold this support area will be critical. Plenty of negative
so the market isn't out of the woods yet. We still think there's a possible reb
toward 6.25% yield on 10Yr or about 97-00 basis June but action in here is key.
around the recent highs just shy of 100-00 basis June T-note and yield low just
cash. The 1998 yield low around 4.10% hit Oct 5, 1998. Last year's yield low 4.
1999. Recent yield high trading January 21th at 6.823%.


>Jun 30Yr Bond: Daily stochastics remain barely in a buy. Weeklies in a sell si
D=56.49). Back to a neutral positive outlook with a potential rebound to the 96
support in the 6.20% or about 93-16 in June bonds. Resistance around the recent
100-00 basis June T-bond and yield low just north of 5.60% on the 30Yr bond. Th
around 4.69% hit Oct 5, 1998. Last year's yield low 5.06% on January 14, 1999.
trading January 18th at 6.753%.
