HI Don; It's the MEGA caps that hold the weight to turn the market, the sectors may change..but watch the mega caps, watch for errosion, or back filling in them, the indexes most all of them send out late signals, at times. When the thinly traded stocks drag the indexes up/down and but the megacaps are going the other way, you have a situation setting up that turns the market ahead of the indexes. This kind of market timing may not be exact but it's good enough to play the indexes, or certain no load funds. and to beat them by using them. I'm getting more and more away from playing individual stocks, to much going on behind the sceans, I'm even seeing on insider were the insiders are getting fooled, and some of them took to the cleaners ! They did OK in the bull market but the story has changed now, it's something to see 5 or 6 insiders BUY BIG..and the stock falls anyway. That was not the case last summer but it's happening now. When insiders can't call their own stock were do I get off trying to call them. Jim
