hmmmm..... the Russell is confusing me. There seems to be a huge divergence between the tech part of the russell (going down) and the value part (going up). I'm long in value microcaps and they closed up.

LT, In one of the dozens of investment tomes I read and re-read, someone smart said to watch out for record short volumes in a stock. Whereas low short volumes mean nothing, and generally high short volumes can be contrarian, record high short volumes may mean that some smart money knows what's up, so you better not be in the way. Can this be the case with the NYSE? That's my bet. Not all institutions are smart, but not all are dumb either. In the Bear Book there's a story of several who retired on their profits from the 87 mini-crash. Boy, I've done what I can to stir up the Dellhead thread, but no takers. Maybe they don't like your name. If I write anything sensibly bearish, it's just ignored or misinterpreted. No flames though. Mike
