Trindy: How many votes are required for conviction, 2/3? If so, conviction is extremely unlikely. They only have 55% votes today. Regards, Jaime

it ain't over, till the fat lady sings... so, the timing of when the market will react is unpredictable... unless of course you truly believe that it has discounted it fully... which I do not... but that is just me, to err on the side of caution when I can not get an idea of the magnitude of damage to be done... best regards amein

I don't see Clinton being removed from office in the Senate. I don't think anyone does. I would think the coming "World War" to add to "Global Depression" would be a more serious concern. David

Market Signals--12/18/98 The positive action on Friday had little impact on the market signals. In the table below, the first column shows the value of the signal and the second column, its direction. Thus, a "- -" indicates that the signal is negative and trending still lower; a "+ 0" indicates that the signal is positive with no short-term trend in value; a "0 -" says that the signal is at 0 and trending lower. You get the picture. The principal signal is the first column value. It is computed using price and volume data, closing prices only. The methodology attempts to determine the trend, positive, stable or negative. The second indicator is simply a visual interpretation of the short-term direction in the signal, thus, trend of trend. Signals basis close 12/18 Value Trend DOW - + NYSE 0 + SP100 + + SP500 + + TRN 0 + Util + + NAZ + + A/D - 0 Vol A/D - + Trin A/D - + The DOW and the various A/D signals are the obvious laggards. Most of the signals are trending higher. I see the results as saying that we are in an indecision range. Given the recent new high on the NAZ and the favorable readings on the S&Ps, which are approaching high ground, the key may lie with these indexes. If the readings on these remain positive and continue climbing, the rest of the market will likely begin to follow. OTOH, if you are a believer that another significant upleg cannot occur without DOW and broader market participation, the continuing negativity of these measures points to likely sideways action at best. It will take a lot of heat to move these laggards to favorable trends. BWDIK
