BAMBI Update BAMBI continues to be of little importance as the market continues to be trendless. There was some slight improvement and BAMBI is 21 to 9 bearish. Only 12 DJIA stocks beat the Index this week. The continuing problem, that first appeared in mid-July, is that we continue to get back-ups. I would expect stocks to generally move from 1 to 6, and back to 1 again. This week 4 stocks moved backwards in the system. I do not view this as a healthy sign. However, it probably represents the current market conditions, where a stock begins a bullish run, the run is halted and the stock reverses. This all occurs in a matter of days, which does not help an analysis of weekly charts. Berney

Re: Volatility The following chart is based on the closing prices of the Index. CHANGE IN DAILY CLOSING PRICES YEAR UP MORE THAN 2% DOWN MORE THAN 2% 1987 20 20 1988 11 5 1989 2 2 1990 5 8 1991 7 2 1992 0 0 1993 0 1 1994 1 1 1995 0 0 1996 0 3 1997 9 6 1998 5 6 I'm not really in a position to analyze the results yet, but the data has been captured for future reference. It is interesting to me that in the five years from 1992 to 1996, we only had 6 days of extreme volatility. BTW and FWIW, August now has become the worst month for investors since 1986. Enjoy, Berney
