Hi GZ, >>The AD is also negative now. I have gone back and looked at the bear markets since 1960. The AD being negative seems to be the first indicator I can find that preceded these markets. It seems obvious that a negative AD line is necessary for a bear market, but as far as I can tell this is a consistant early indicator. BTW, where are you getting your AD data? Joan

Hi GZ; Speaking of Big Kahunas, did you pick up a copy of the non-fiction best seller "The Perfect Storm", at Barnes and Noble recently (I'm short AMZN...). Talk about a long fetch and a high wind, try the North Atlantic and 120 knots. The waves that we call panics seem the same way. They start out as cat's paws, it's only when the fundamental winds have been blowing a while that they start to make spindrift.... Took profits on my MSFT puts, cause I am just sure that the dipsters have to be climbing in soon. -- Carl Merry Christmas to all, (commercial greetings to atheists, etc.)
