James: In all honesty I don't know. I had a lot of flags going off in the latter part of July. So, I went to cash and got most of family to go to cash also.

Having said that, I just try to be on the right side of the trend. That is basically what my stuff does. I usually do not get out at the exact top or the exact bottom, but close works for me! <g>

I am more an investor than a day trader.

So far my stuff still points down. And, I am looking for a capitulation day. You know the one where the S/MMs (Big Boys) get to pick up enough stock to help power the next leg of the bull.

However, I just can't see the Big Boys letting the market tank before Sacs IPO's. In addition, a sentimental contrary indicator for me: IBM signaled the crash in OCT 87. It is still looking good, for now.

So, actually I guess I am mixed!

PS: But, I do think S/MMs may have set tomorrow up for a down day.

James:

9000 before 8000. Quite possible if the present uptrend (and if it
survives today) overshoots a bit. I am not taking that bet.

But what about 7000 before 9400? Those odds should be in your
favour, don't you think? Well, I don't.

Cheers,

Phil
