Last evening I saw a white cat in a red cedar tree. More importantly though, I saw only 52 new highs on the NAZ and 34 on NYSE. Both dropped from the previous day (On a supposedly UP day). Not a bullish sign. Coupled with the MOT news, it should be an ugly day for the techs.
I was told that an old Jewish investing rule is to wait for 5 consecutive days with new highs exceeding new lows before going long. I have followed this rule for the past few years, and verified that it indeed works (as far as confirming a bull market). You don't get in at the bottom, but you also avoid trying to catch a falling knife.

Looking hard at shorting AOL today after thurs. rally.
