Marc: >>>>>I believe the futures closed yesterday at a slight premium to fair value -- less than a point.<<<<< My figures show FV at 8.80 and the close difference 7.51 making the premium 1.29. I'm not posting this trying to disagree with you, for there are differing methods of calculation. I used to spend time doing the math, now that I'm really lazy, I just pull it off the web.

INDEX UPDATE ------------------ Was late in finishing my anaalysis this morning, so will make it short. Just noticed something interesting. The DOW and the NAZ has a slight bias to the upside, but the SPX has a slight bias to the downside. Usually, the bias of the SPX is in the same direction as either the DOW or the NAZ, but not different. Normally the SPX trades in between the DOW and the NAZ, where the divergences are between the DOW and NAZ. Hope, I made some sense. What does it mean - the only thing I can suspect is that some of the bigger caps outside of the DOW are weaker, if it makes any sense. If I am correct about that, just another technical sign of weakness. Seeya
