Hi umbro; Do you chartists have a very long term, very detailed chart for the Dow? It has been my observation that major changes in direction are preceded by long term increases in average volatility, and I was wondering if the '29 crash was preceded by volatility increases. (You have to have a logarithmic chart for this, otherwise the secular trend screws up the size.)

I used to have a multi-year wall chart of the Dow with bars showing the min/max by quarter, but I don't know where it is, and it stopped some years ago, anyway.

should we expect the next bottom in mid-to-late 2001 extending out to late 2002? I'd say given the rapid rise of this last run, the mid 2001 crash is more likely.

answer:
I never predict the market.
I only react to it.
If Nasdaq does kiss 52 week Low, my reaction would be to buy long term.
