Harry; many thanks for the excellent post(s)! What was in the Wall Street Journal this morning that worried you? As you have a subscription I'll list the URLs. Do not be alarmed (by the URLs). I get the hard copy on my doorstep in the am. It was like a whole supplemental section. The bull on the tightrope - going where no bull has ever gone before. Meanwhile Bernie is cheerful & finds all the pessimism a contrary indicator! Oh la! these are not linking. So - go to search & enter the writers' names. Bill Spindle, Steven Lipin, Greg Ip. They are first on the listed articles for these guys, dated Jan 18. I'll leave the URLs (below) in case they come to life. interactive.wsj.com@2.cgi?dorothee/text/wsjie/data/SB948147986845729619.djm/&NVP=&template=atlas-srch-searchrecent-nf.tmpl&form=atlas-srch-searchrecent-nf.html&from-and=AND&to-and=AND&sort=Article-Doc-Date+desc&qand=&bool_query=Bill+Spindle&dbname=%26name1%3Ddbname%26name2%3Ddbname%26name3%3Ddbname%26period%3D%3A720&location=article&HI= interactive.wsj.com@2.cgi?dorothee/text/wsjie/data/SB94814808820110692.djm/&NVP=&template=atlas-srch-searchrecent-nf.tmpl&form=atlas-srch-searchrecent-nf.html&from-and=AND&to-and=AND&sort=Article-Doc-Date+desc&qand=&bool_query=Steven+Lipin&dbname=%26name1%3Ddbname%26name2%3Ddbname%26name3%3Ddbname%26period%3D%3A720&location=article&HI= interactive.wsj.com@2.cgi?dorothee/text/wsjie/data/SB948147690535575133.djm/&NVP=&template=atlas-srch-searchrecent-nf.tmpl&form=atlas-srch-searchrecent-nf.html&from-and=AND&to-and=AND&sort=Article-Doc-Date+desc&qand=&bool_query=Greg+Ip&dbname=%26name1%3Ddbname%26name2%3Ddbname%26name3%3Ddbname%26period%3D%3A720&location=article&HI= Is that one of your terrific subscriptions that gives you the block buys vs block sells? Or is this info available & I don't know about it? As you say, there is just so much to keep up on/with... In any case, I am very glad to have the info for CIEN. It finished strongly & I had that sinking feeling <g> MYPT & CLRS gave me excellent profits, then turned & gobbled most of them back up. So I'm feeling a bit chastened :( Dorothy

HI HARRY! You said: There was a time when they did not trade out of synchronization for long. This current period is very unusual and potentially hazardous down the road if we correct Right now i'm actually in self therapy to get rid of my bearish bias which cost me a lot in opportunity cost over the last 3 month. But when i look at some charts -hopefully with less bias - i actually get the feeling that quiet a few stocks are breaking. I just looked through the DOW charts and a lot of them don't show any signs of strength and the ones declining show no signs of bottom. Yes we can always put on a couple hundred points here and there but so far nothing on that front seems to indicate an upside explosion. The semis had there earnings run up but on another thread was posted that RFMD is down 8 in after hour trading after only making the first call estimate and not exceeding it. MOT had good earnings but it was selling the news time. A lot of the hot flying nets have pulled back dramatically and actually broken the uptrend lines so that we're either in consolidation or a downtrend has begun. In January still a lot of liquidity flows in the market and that keeps the whole thing up but that effect will wear off when the post earnings season new vacuum begins. I think we will see a good pull back then. 20-30DMA's are starting to roll over in a lot of charts. It's too early for something drastic but i think it's coming. But that could be my good ole perma bear bias...who knows! And for what it's worth...i miss CLINT's input in these situations! Take care. Stefan
