Vol - Take a look over at the corporate bond market. It is an order of magnitude worse than in 1998. The spread is huge and the defaults are lining up more than in 1998. Supply is drying up. Just take a look. Best regards, L

H.S. Dent November 2000 Newsletter Summary: Since early September the market has been falling, especially the Nasdaq. It finally appears that we are nearing a bottom. Either we already saw the bottom on October 18, or more likely, we will see another wave down into mid- to late November. This is the time to be buying aggressively in the hardest hit sectors, technology and Asia, and allocating out of the sector that has done the best in this correction, health care. Financial services could be held constant or allocated a bit out of. If the market is falling in early November, wait until mid-November to start buying. There are two areas of support, the first around 2,700 to 2,800. The second and more optimum buy target would be between 2,300 and 2,500. The absolute low should be around 2,100. If instead the market continues up into early November, then wait for a pull back and start buying. hsdent.com

<FONT COLOR=BLUE>MARKET SNAPSHOT--Markets look for relief By Julie Rannazzisi, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 7:54 AM ET Nov 21, 2000 NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - Judging by the positive action in the futures markets, Wall Street's dormant bulls may attempt a counterattack Monday. December S&P 500 futures added 7.00 points, or 0.5 percent, and were trading roughly 5.00 points above fair value. Nasdaq futures, meanwhile, climbed 49.00 points, or 1.7 percent. But the damage done, particularly in the tech arena, will take time to heal. On Monday, the Nasdaq closed at it lowest level since Oct. 28, 1999. Technicians want to see the major averages build a base over the next weeks so that a sturdy launching pad from which stocks can spring will be in place. Time is running out for that elusive year-end rally to materialize and the stock indexes have consistently been unable to find buyers for more than one or two trading sessions. Over in the Treasury bond market, issues continued to trade inversely to stocks with little in the way of news to focus on. The 10-year Treasury note shed 3/32 to yield ($TNX) 5.69 percent while the 30-year government bond erased 2/32 to yield ($TYX) 5.75 percent. On the economic docket, the September trade balance is set for release. A survey of economists conducted by CBS MarketWatch.com projects a $30.6 billion deficit.

On Monday, the greenback cleared the 110 level for the first time since mid-May. Euro/dollar slipped 0.3 percent to 0.8483.
