3)Percentages depend on how many stocks are in index. Zeev has data on how small the Nasdaq has gotten(g) You wouldn't happen to have a link to Zeev's comments on the shrinking naz (or know the details yourself) would you? I remember a few months ago a yahoo news piece saying the number of stocks in the naz was at 20 year lows or something... when I wanted it later I couldn't find it. I certainly think the naz issues are down to early 90s levels... 80s levels seem exaggerated, bwdik? thx Lizzie

Larry, I posted charts several times this week, including on this thread, showing the VXN indicating a drop of 40-48% coming up. Is this a test? Do I need to show my work again? <G>. Larry, some of us who were looking for COMP 1000 in October were off by a whopping 10%. It's too bad we had the date off by 2-weeks and the landing off by 108-points. I guess the fact that the drop from 1759-1108 was anticipated well before the fact does nothing in your mind to correct the error of the methods involved. I was also off by 44-points and 2-weeks on the S&P low. Shoot me. I can count on one hand the number of people who were looking for new lows this year back when we were talking in Dec. 2001 on Steve's thread. Most of us made money because of that. Many who ignored how bubbles unwind got their butts in a wringer. I was nearly alone in April when I was looking for new lows in June that would take out the Sept. 2001 lows. There are a few ways this can play out from here, and the odds favor my scenario playing out. You have no scenario. I look at different possibilities and determine which one has the highest likelihood of playing out. I also keep in mind the alternates. I trade the swings. I'm not really into going back and digging up posts to prove my point. I put it out there and if anyone wants to comment on it, that's great.
