Don, you need to consider the market's internals. They are still very weak...volume low, advances/declines, foreign markets, etc. I think its two early to imply that the correction is over, and from here we will rally to new highs. Lets see what happens over the next few weeks. Stock Bull

You may be missing the fact that Brinker's Marketimer Timing Model appears to be making another incredible call of a correction bottom. Not at all Don. I was poking fun a Allan suggesting that there was nothing sinister about an impending market crash hidden in the numbers other than they were at very good prices for purchase. Allan has been sending me all sorts of bearish warnings as I keep buying... see: suite101.com So far, it looks like our Starship Commander has scored a direct hit on the Klingons, er bears! Of course, I disobeyed the "Prime Directive" and went to 99% invested last Monday and have already made 10% on my trade! I thank Bob for his KGO appearance Monday (that I heard about on the Internet.) ... It is scary to buy when when so many are yelling "Fire, head for the exits!" and Bob's calmness on every "buying opportunity" is truely appreciated. BTW - I think HWP has been much more fun as a trading stock than Intel lately.....8) best regards Kirk out

RE: "You may be missing the fact that Brinker's Marketimer Timing Model appears to be making another incredible call of a correction bottom. Brinker recommended buying any dips below Dow 8650 or S & P 500 1100 as this would represent the big 1998 off Presidential year buying opportunity he has talked about as a 1998 probability. He added he thought the final lows in the correction would be within about three percent of these target levels, give or take a small fraction. Now we see, to date, the Dow closed within 2.6% of 8650 and the S & P 500 within 3.38% of 1100 thereby making this another direct hit for the timing model. Those buying this dip during weakness below these benchmarks may be scooping up bargains that will make them serious money by 1999! Go Starship!" +++++++++++++++ Strange how fast things can change, will we get a retraction of this if the market closes below 8390 or S&P 500 below 1067, which is the current position of both. jim
