> we got to do a Moon shot with the small caps

Something is wrong here. There are two scenarios which are
considered classic preludes to the end of a bull market.
One is the A/D line divergence, and the other is a small
cap rally.

well - these two cannot coexist. Looking at a couple of charts:
tscn.com

tscn.com

it really looks like the RUT move that precedes a collapse is
typically a blow-off move. Blow-off moves don't happen off of
lows, but are extensions of an existing trend. Last year, for
example, the RUT had already made new highs before the big
trouble indicating move took place.

I'm arguing that the big H&S showing in the RUT was the
move you're looking for. It's over already.

The above chart is not a correction in the RUT. It's lower highs
and lower lows. In fact it's the first lower low since 1994.
Besides all that small caps individually still look like hell to
me and I just can't see the setup for a meaningful rally in them.

so - either a bear market is beginning right now or one has already
take place and is about over. :) Neither scenario is one in which
blow-off moves are indicated.
