Russel 2000 went up about 2%, but so what. Look where its at and where its been. I don't know how you call the bear market in small stocks over based on one uptick. Just like I find it silly for folks to claim that the correction is over because we rallied one day. People sure get whipped up over practically nothing, BWDIK.

I find it interesting that as the dollar weakened a few days ago, our market got hit. Last night, the dollar strengthened significantly and we rallied. This confirms my feeling that foreign buying and selling is influencing us and adding to volatility recently. Even Mary F. commented on this on Nightline last night.
I hate to disagree with Bonnie...I have been a fan for a LONG time....but, I think what the SOXX is telling us is that Asia will be turning soon. This would confirm what a few people I know in the semi biz are saying.

As ironic as it sounds now, I feel that as Asia turns it will start the inflation bug buzzing here in one hell of a hurry, which will end this bull for good in a more traditional vein. I know it looks tempting to play the depression thing. But I think if I have to play, I will play the odds.

I rec buying high growth that got rooted for no reason and playing the short term. I Bought WFMI today. Thing got hammered from 70to 35 for no reason. Big Article in Austin's paper today.

Stay Cool.
B.

PS thoes high volume stocks that went up is likely insitutional
buying..I haven't charted them but if they are coming off recent
lows that would be a good sign.
They know they can't likey dump that many very easy so they must
have the faith.

To any one who happens to look at these, I did not filter or
pick them, other than from the bottom of the index up.
I do not know anything about the companies.
-------------------
IF I was going to pick through this list, I would thin them
out, First I would only look at the ones that traded over 100K
volume, second I would toss out any that did not go UP today.
This was an up day for that index, so to hell with the ones
that went down.
