Hi S2K, DCA is still a very powerful way to get one's money returned to the equity markets. It works just as well for a fixed sum for a fixed period as it does for a thrift plan. I've used a form of DCA in the past called Twinvest and variations of it. It usually leaves one with a cash reserve at the end, however. Yesterday was pleasant enough and maybe shows how far the one way the pendulum has gone. But, just like a pendulum, it moves the slowest at the end of each arc's swing. Yep, it could be a while before we see sustained bullishness. The slope of the moving average has been negative for some time. It will be nice to see it flatten out and turn positive. Best regards, Tom

Semi2K....Good point you made there on the 5th, despite the fact that today gave us the chance to collect on those bets of April 4th. As Tom notes, we have some time before the trend flattens and moves up. Not that we can't "scalp a little" (as ISO would put it)...when the rubber band gets stretched too far and we get a couple of nice days snap back. Still holding a nice chunk of cash for for coming "good times" ? (we are) --- which, I believe was suggested here somewhere.... <GG>.. Cheery regards, Semi dlo
