""One observation of technical interest yesterday was the action of the major averages versus the A-D line. For instance at 11:00 a.m. with the DJIA up 26, there were 615 net advancing issues. Even at the close, the A-D line was net negative by only 42 issues. A surprisingly good relationship like this existed throughout the session. Conclusion: We have mixed signals between the DJIA & SPX, which are recording a short-term pattern of lower tops & lower lows – the definition of a downtrend versus an A-D line that refuses to “crack”, accompanied by relatively good P-C readings. The former implies that until the pattern is broken, near-erm caution is warranted. The latter implies that further pullbacks ought not be too severe. On a trading basis, the environment is still very difficult, & we hope you now understand why we put the caveat out that we did yesterday. Regardless, BRCD acted well until the NASDAQ declined. Another example for the discipline of stop loss points. Art Huprich, CMT Technical Analyst"" I need to throw a couple of ringers, short or long , got any ideas other than borl ???

we have a very strange set of circumstances upcoming for the economy I dont think anything in the future will resemble much in the past from this point forward first of all, the world is slipping into a recession the US may be the strongest among a weak list Japan is gonna be key here, as will Germany but with Japanese PriMinister "releasing the dogs of war (accountabilty)" I see unexpected events soon they must correct their accounting excesses of 15 yrs !!! I dont expect the US economy to travel on separate parallel lanes on the commercial highway in the past, a recession meant RECESSION, with all sectors falling e.g. industrial production, service sector, banking, exports, tech, lowtech, rustbelt, consumer, realestate now, I expect certain sectors to continue to do well other sectors to tread water a few sectors to thrive ALL after we come out of the recession after fy2000, all the world has changed as long as US employment remains under 5%, realestate will continue to prosper it might require a year of digestion/ consolidation, after recents strong years gonna be a strange 18 months upcoming I still expect a real tough summer for stocks 2ndHalf Recovery, not gonna happen !!! / jim
