Wasn't Oct 14, 1998 the date last year when the current market run (stalled for the last few months) started? Maybe a fall rally is in store when third quarter earnings come out - if they are postive.

James: Most stocks have been in bear market since last year. Some of the big averages, dji & sp500 are now starting to break down. dji first, sp500 next and lastly nas100. I would not conclude we are in a bear market with the Inuts and most of the large cap nasdaq stocks making the kind of headway they are making. Amazon (a favorite of yours <g>) was up on 25% on what I consider a fairly boring news release. At least not something I would expect to add 5bil in market cap. Bear market will be when the nasdaq 100 and inuts start to feel some of the pain. So far, most funds are managing to hold these positions together. imo

okay, we are all in agreement that there are about 15 or so stocks that are propping up the sound byte averages.My quesiton then is what happens to g, ko, wwy, brk, mat when they finally cave in? Do they benefit from flight to quality or do they continue down?
