All of the major indices (DJI, COMPX, NDX, SPX) are at the lower trend line for the intermediate trend that bounds the rally we have had since late September. They hit the same trend line last Wednesday and did a small bounce on Thursday. If we end tomorrow down, I don't want to be long. I think the rally was partly a correction to the 9/11 sell-off and partly in anticipation of a recovery during the second quarter next year. Signs for that recovery happening during the second quarter are quite mixed. Chip book-to-build is still below 1. Not much insider buying. Indications are that increases in retail sales are being financed out of savings. How long can that continue? Past New Years day? How will the "January effect" be funded next year. Bonus money will be in short supply and Christmas bills will be coming due. The extent of the Fed cuts generated optimism about the timing of a recovery that there is little hard evidence to support.

Lee, I haven't posted to Don, during this time he's been away, because I figured his mailbox would be overflowing. Don must know he has a lot of friends here at SI. He can't know how many, like me, are lurkers on this thread because of him. His generosity and good humour are very much appreciated. If you're speaking with him, please let him know our thoughts are with him as he copes with these family emergencies. He's a good person, and we miss him. Cush
