As mentioned in the index update, the key for today is to see if yesterdays intraday highs in the DOW/SPX/OEX hold or break significantly. So far the DOWs high held but the SPX/OEX broke slightly to the upside. When the DOW was up 50, the DOW/SPX/OEX gave intraday CLASS 1 SELL signals again. Keep in mind a CLASS 1 SELL at the close is better than a intraday CLASS 1.

""Net ads ARE starting to drop in the amount they will pay as companies are realizing they don't bring in that much business. I don't see how last night's report proved anything"" I agree that what has to be occurring is the continuing realization of companies placing these ads that they may not be having much of an effect. I have never clicked on a banner ad in my life, or at least in my last 5 years of using the web. I don't even "see" them because I know where on my screen the content that I want is on a given site and everything else is periphery. I suspect that as new web users grow more familiar with the web, they too will start to filter out the static of ads much as they flip the channel during a tv commercial, except that a few tv commercials have entertainment value, banner ads have none.
