Hi Chip, Great idea - I'll do it today. My thought was watching an index that has lead most of the last year to year and a half: $rut $mid This market strength has been most promineet in small caps. IBD has detailed their leadership daily for quite a while.The new highs and new lows and advance declines is showing this as well. These indexes are at all time highs - unlike the NAZ which has a loooong way to go. Often a leading indicator can give one a look out farther than a short term move (which the spiral gives). For a trader that is positionally oriented ( myself - perhaps due to a lack of nimbleness) subtle clues of market durability are important. I've learned to heed GZ's short calls and his cycle timing is most enviable - but still short term trades have given me my greatest trouble and long term buy and hold - the greatest gains. I'll do my DD and get back. Thanks Bob P.S. Great suggestions
