Marc: Re: "I still say if it's to be then let's get our unimpressive test and get on with the bear. " I don't know, Marc. It is almost as if you are begging for a bear market <G>. You are starting to scare me <G>! Has this become the "Big Kahuna" thread <VBG>?

I want to understand the specific characteristics of a "benchmark high" which Brinker stated we may have put in last week. What specifically was Brinker seeing in the market as we made new highs in the averages last time ? - Lower NYSE volume ? - Fewer advancing stocks ? - Increased number of declining stocks ? - Fewer new highs ? - More new lows ? What is Brinker comparing those characteristics he saw last week to when he concludes "yes - that may be a benchmark high" ? - Is he comparing last week's characteristics to the last date before last week when the market averages hit new highs ? I want to understand the above so that I can spot benchmarks myself. P
