Thanks Tom, I'm going to look into the Dogs of the Dow. Maybe do a little analysis of them. I understand your book is now in Polish?! I thought the NYSE BP had a higher number than that. :-( Thanks for clarifying the move yesterday and how the indicators work. Kind of hard to explain sometimes why we here don't get excited when the Dow is up 200pts or so. Unless of course we owned the Dow in which case, I'd have been peeing my pants yesterday :-) Can you do a more in depth analysis on Asia and Europe Bullish percents? Thanks Big Guy. Janny bo banny

Thanks Tom. I understand the concept but have thought many stocks also advance yesterday, obviously they didn't advance enough (or retrace enough) to generate buy signal. <<The new stocks in the Relative Strength Dogs of the Dow are ALD,WMT, S, TRV, MCD. Ok to put on this strategy now. Tom >> could you elaborate a bit more on this ?

Is the Bullish Percent similar to the Percent of Stocks Above the 200-day Moving Average in the IBD? It is still below 50%, and usually the market is at best sluggish till it moves into the high 50's.

Mr. D I haven't had an opportunity to thank you for providing Relative Strength charts as part of the basic $25 service at DWA. Including these charts at no additional charge (at least no yet) was a terrific addition to an all ready terrific information site. Thank you very much. On a separate matter, I see you advised Jan that >>The number of stocks underlying the NYSE Bullish Percent is in the 2000 range.<< I've always assumed (yep, I said assumed) that the NYSE Bullish Percent mirrored, or at least very nearly did, the actual number of stocks on the NYSE, which as the end of May was 3080. If in fact all stocks are not considered, can you tell us a little about what goes into the criteria of the stocks selected for this most important index? Thank you and take care, Eric
