MT, I didn't think you were rambling. You were setting a scenario in which one (very strong) retailer appears to be battling a deteriorating world economy. It's a very sobering thought, yet WMT has not been knocked out for the count.

I looked back at the WMT chart and whether there have been 7 occasions (days) or 4 or 5 independent tests of a $57 base from which WMT hs bounced back doesn't much matter. Of significance is the the support has held. Now if you look at a DJ INDU chart, you can see strong support of 7600 going back to July 1997, excepting the period of Oct/Nov 1997. In fact with a good week this week, we'd have a very decent double bottom test of the DJIA.

Interpretation? I could lean toward optimism. But if I'm wrong, where does a technical analyst sell? Looks like an intraday sale could be very dangerous. Would a close at or under $55 be a big red light?
