Heinz, March 2000... I have been targeting it for some time. Message 10992505 I base this claim on four bits of reasoning: 1) a study of taxable account money flows into index funds and index-moving stocks in Sept-Oct 1998. I predict that there will be selling pressure beginning in early March 2000 to capture LT capital gains (the LT holding period was changed to 18 months in April 1998) 2) a study of rally "extents". For this study, I used CHAID and Cox regression to find the likely extent of the intermediate downtrend and the following intermediate uptrend. This model will not let me predict primary trend changes, but it did pinpoint the SPX July top and October bottom within a few days. This tool used to be something I only used occasionally, but I'm paying more attention to it now. 3) Seasonal pressures now favor an move upward. 4) The construction industry is beginning to cool off, but the slowdown could easily be attributed to seasonality. If it does not pick up in late February, this will be a recessionary warning signal. Remember, the construction industry slowed in advance of the 1929 crash and the 1974 bear market. No evidence of a worrisome slowdown yet. AA

I'm not sure you have truly given up on being a bear. You know you can always be a cautious bull. Why else do you think a dipper like me hangs out here? <g> Now if you are truly in a bull mindset you will know that the bulls will try to get above the psychological 3000 level on the Naz. You also know that next week there will likely be a dip of sorts that CNBS calls profit taking. To run with the bulls you will need to power spend on that dip. That's what I am patiently waiting to do. If power spending with your own money bothers you, then why not use other people's money. <g>
