Jim, You will get your just reward as no good deed goes ...

unpunished!

Now, let's look at the market. I've noted that I've come to
understand that it rests on a four legged stool -- drugs, financial,
retail and technology. Let's look at that "anemic" volume Friday and
price action using the SI figures:

FRIDAY AVERAGE
INCREASE VOLUME VOLUME

Drugs:
MRK 3.4% 5.6M 5.3M
PFE 6.1% 5.5M 4.1M

Financials:
AXP 3.0% 1.3M 1.8M
C 3.4% 8.8M 12.8M
CMB 3.8% 4.2M 3.5M

Retail:
WMT 1.1% 5.5M 8.5M

Technology:
CSCO 5.6% 10.6M 13.0M
DELL 2.1% 20.1M 31.8M
INTC 5.3% 25.1M 25.7M
MSFT 4.2% 17.8M 29.3M

I only ask because I'm still not convinced whether the chicken or the
egg comes first. Does price lead volume or does volume lead price?
