Heard an interesting snippet as I watched the ball fall tonight from Times square, that all started 96 years ago as a room party. Hope a few of them are alive now to see what that has grown to become. Chris, regarding the BIX, I looked at my weekly and I have a short term over bought signal on it and I see a grave stone doji that formed last week. Personally, I wouldn't touch it yet. I then went to my daily and I would need to see it clear resistance of 670 first. Even then, I have a descending fork which has held up until the break out I think you are reffering to. A fork extension tine placed on it would still allow a run up to around 690 or so dependent on time. If I am right and it pulls back from here, you might want to play the bounce off of the 580 area as it tests prior resistance ( now support) for that run up to retest the new resistance around 670. 100 points is a good trade. <ggg> My main FA concern is all the bad debt floating around which is why I am bearish on financials in a FA sense. Who knows, maybe they really are hedged and insured to all that debt and really aren't exposed as I think they are but I don't want to bet too much on it. EDIT - Just saw you wanted BKX and not BIX. My BKX chart is not as clear as my BIX chart so I would trade based on what I said regarding the BIX myself since it is more clear. On my daily BKX chart though, I did have a resistance line usingthe highs of July, November and September that held. Kind of weird but it worked. I don't have as strong of signals on the BKX as I do on the BIX but it also has the gravestone doji which isn't good. On the bullish side, there is the chance that you are forming one heck of a huge inverted H&S from last may to now. Too much Champagne, I better quit. Good Luck, Lee
