Justa, Great summary. I was thinking this wkend, scary I know. What if this Starr report had one name change? What if our last republican president were in this position? In fact imho they would have tried to force him out by now. I find it absolutely fascinating that the American people have such a double standard as well as the press. George Herbert Walker Bush would have been crucified. Look at the junk they pulled accusing him of having an affair when there was no evidence, ever. My goodness, they tried to hang Quayle for spelling potatoe wrong. HA. Now it is OK to lie under oath. Another thought. Gary Hart must be shaking his head. Look what happened to him a little over a decade ago. Times have changed. FWIW.

*Top 7 Scandals of Concern to the American Public* 1. Milli Vanilli having to return their Grammy after it was revealed that they lip synced. People held CD burning parties for this episode. 2. Hugh Grant having involved in a lewd act in a car with transvestite. 3. Eddie Murphy assisting prostitutes @ 2 am. 4. George Michael in the "Zip me up before you go go" episode in a park bathroom. 5. Lady Diana's death. I have never seen so many people moved about someone who they have never met. One of my favorite political cartoons of all time shows Mother Teresa and Diana at the pearly gates. God is looking at a book on the podium while saying, "Let's see here, goodness from fame and fame from goodness". Guess who was the one classified as fame from goodness. 6. OJ. I am thinking that from what I have heard from people and seen on SI that there are a helluva lot of people who are contributing to OJ's fund to find the "killers". I am saddened by the fact that the American public loves being duped. 7. Oh yeah this one too. President Clinton lying under oath about having sexual escapades with a paid government female employee in the Oval Office.

Justa, <<Brinker has a position in Intel again.>> Great summary for Saturday's show. I think it's interesting that he said he now owns Intel. I listened to the show, but I don't recall him mentioning it. So he's "bullish bullish bullish" on the market and, obviously, Intel. But what is he thinking about the semi equips? I'm am totally lost here. As I recall, AV put the proverbial stake in the ground and predicts the equip orders will come the end of Q2 99. I understand that historically the stocks move up in anticipation about 6 months before the orders come in strong. This means that a rally could be less than 1 quarter away. Has Brinker given us an opinion as to when the equips will turn? Is the above scenario feasible or likely? Regards, D

Excellent summary Justa. I believe I also heard Bob reference the fact that the S&P 500 is more than 5% above it's low. Also, didn't Bob say that he does not own AMAT, contrary to recent discussion on SI? Best wishes, I2

WHAT TO EXPECT NOW: On Friday the ARMS Index closed at .48. Closing ARMS Index readings of .50 or less predict a short term top the next business day or at the latest, two business days later. The "5 day ARMS" indicator closed today at 4.08. Readings near "4.00" appear near short term tops. Friday the tick index readings reached +832 at the 1021 level on the December S&P's. Today the tick readings reached +943 at the 1046 level. Up-tick readings exceeding +600 appear near short term tops. Today in candlestick charting on the December S&P's no bearish pattern was drawn. If a bearish candle was drawn today a short term sell signal would have been triggered. If the market gaps down tomorrow it would drawn bearish "Dumpling Top" candlestick pattern which could set up a sell signal. Our Fibonacci work shows a resistance area at the 1047 to 1054. The 1047 area is a 38.2% retracement for the form the July 20 top. The 1054 area is a 61.8% retracement from the August 25 top. For longer term the weekly candlestick charts on the December S&P's for last week drew a bullish "Mid Point Harami Line". A bullish "Mid Point Harami Line" on the weekly charts are found at intermediate term bottoms. Also from the August 25 high to the September 1 low a 61.8% retracement equals about 1054 on the December S&P's. Today's high was 1052.00. If the market can retrace 61.8% of a previous decline than the previous low should hold the next time down. Therefore it appears the market is in the process of building an intermediate term bottom. from marketweb.com I don't know about you all. I'm dying for some 'dumpling tops'.
