Hi Bill; just finished pluging the DOW into my new program, and with this one I can inport the data to a spread sheet. I don't know exactly what I've found here yet, but holy be it don't look good. This one does the volume x price on each issue and sums up the real Dollars traded, vs the market cap vs so many things I aint figured them all out. Roughly the index only fell like 2.94 % but of course it now it has to go up 3.03 % to get back were it was. ----------- But that's nothing to looking at the Dollars, I had no idea so much money could trade hands on only 30 stocks. and BTW the volume was not all so high..that's the shocker if GE could lose 2.44% of her value..but "only" traded .16% of her shares what would happen if she tried to trade as much as 10% of her shares like some companies do , I don't know man..had it been a drop on larger volume I would see some sort of bottom maybe..but all in all the volume was not there and she was sinking like a rock, like "there are no buyers " wall streets inside joke, Broker "it's worth $100" clinet "sell it" Broker , "ya but to whom" ? --------------------------- any way inside the dow, volume x "just the price loss" for the day was 201.8B..considering she has a market cap of 1867.2B that was close to 10% of her market cap that mooved down, BUT you see the index don't reflect that ! The price on the stocks don't show such a big drop compared to it. I'm not sure what it means, but yu can bet I ain't looking to buy anything this week. ---------------------- Do you think this coming week got any chance of being up ? it sure looks sick to me. Hell I was scared DEC5, as we was to high, we much lower now but I is just as scared. Jim |
