GZ, just as I've been saying since early August, bull market indicators in bear markets won't work - if we are in a bear market. I think the evidence has now become very obvious with Greeny lowering rates and Merril Lynch laying off people - the party is over and this fat beara is singing. Bear market rallies, no new highs - read my lips -g- I think this is why you have the tremendous volitility. People are holding on the this bull with 16 years of ingrained dipsterism. the 20's bull and the 87 bull were much shorter time spans. I think confusion will reign -g- Okay, so how do you explain the advance decline divergence we just saw? That same pattern at all, or most, bottoms? Huh? Bull backside of the peak trap. The chart is mimicking last year's corrective period. We had a bear coil into December 8th, then a drop into December 19th. On the NDX it was a retest of the October lows. Then a rally into Jan 1. Then the quick drop into Jan 12. I had been convinced that because of the 9 month cycle, that the drop into 10/8 was both declines combined together 12/19 and 1/12. However now I am beggining to think we are at January 1st now and expect another drop into late October. Note: Last December NDX made a higher low. This time it made a lower low,. bb

> how do you explain the advance decline divergence we just saw? noticed that. Usually it's supposed to be a sign that the leaders are leading and the pack will follow. However, following Don Sews lead I went looking at 1973 where lo, the same thing happened at the end of the year leading into the abysmal 1974 market. decisionpoint.com It may be a question of extent. The same thing happened in late 74 in a much larger and more conspicuous way, and that did lead to a meaningful rally decisionpoint.com the current one decisionpoint.com BTW that period decisionpoint.com must have been pure hell on everybody.
