Nokia has been a pretty good indicator as i noted on mdd, everytime it hits the top trendline of that broadening pattern, the market has made a significant top. glw has been the leader of the hot optical group.207.61.23.98 it had 95% july call options $ per impristine on 6/23. from the 4/14 lows the top this week is a little clouded, i can't say if that was a wave 3 top or a wave 5 top. and btw, one guy switched back from neutral to bullish last nite on wsw elves, now back to 8 bulls 2 neutrals, man the press is bullish after a nasdaq 37% crash, in 1987 everybody thought the world was gonna end -g- i hope we rally at least into softie's earnings.
