Paul,

Heard today on CNBC that of the 30 DOW stocks only 6 have set new highs. The DOW setting a slightly NEW HIGH is a bullish signal when it happened. Now there needs to be follow-thru. It would be hard for me to imagine for the DOW to get alot higher to the 10,000 range as many analyst are now calling for, on the back of only 6 stocks, especially since the DOW is not a weighted index.

The key is follow-thru, and I realise that it will take some time for the other DOW issues and the TRANSPORTs to catch up; however in such a volitile/dynamic/impatient market Im not sure that the market is willing to wait too long. Wonder if anyone did a study on the time permitted for for one part of the DOW THEORY to catch up to the other.
My gut feeling is 2 months for once of the DOW sectors to catch up to the other, so in this case that would put it at the end of JAN/early FEB.
