Might today's rally have what it takes to continue for a while? Today's burst flipped all of my short-term NYSE models to positive, with patterns that look more bullish than anything we've had in the past few weeks. Only my long-term Model #3 is unimpressed: it continues to consider cash a better investment than stocks. Clearly, the broad market has fallen far enough to warrant at the very least an upward "correction" within a longer term downtrend. Since there was no major news behind today's rise, it has to be considered nothing more than a reaction to last week's heavy selling. A reaction to prior selling doesn't change the fundamental trading environment. But buying on top of buying can change everything. The question is, does anyone have cash to buy with, or has all of it already been plowed into the market? The next few days will be very interesting indeed!

The Market... *************** looks like a bear trap to me...Sapping a lot of liquidity out of the dow today,IMO...DD DD: I'll take a Bear Trap like this any day... : > While New Lows are still relatively high on the NYSE, the New Highs are overpowering the New Lows on Nasdaq, Amex, and Bulletin Boards... finance.yahoo.com This means that the broader market,(where the growth is), is outperforming the oldies but goodies... : > While I'm always cautious, I'm not looking this gift horse in the mouth without taking advantage of this favorable environment for as long as it lasts... Small caps and overseas have the best Relative Strength... Jim
