LG, L3, bb, Haim, TW, Donald, Sun, etc... Can I get theoretical DOW, SPX, OEX, NDX values on-line somewhere???? I'm also looking for a long-term chart on Japanese interest rates, can't seem to find one, even at Decision Point. I'll be pokin' around some for a while but if anyone has a super-whiz-bang-extra-cool site out there, I'd be much obliged. Hey, as far as comparisons to the Nikkei go, we may be where they were late in 1988, thats scary. The chart would imply another 35-40% of upside in the averages before the BK rolls in. Now what would that do to P/Es??? Higher "P", lower "E", talk about gettin' it from both ends. heh heh heh Where would the DOW be if all 30 components were at their 52 week or all time highs right now?? 10500, 11000???? As Haim said-----SHEER MADNESS!!!! Thanks, D

I will try to answer you question. First, I tend to trade on a time frame of a couple weeks to a few days. Longer term in the market to me means several weeks to a couple months. I would not be interested in any view that is much more than a two or three months into the future. This should give you an idea of my perspective. I would find it difficult to believe that a successful short term trader, particularly in this market, responds to a long term view of more than a few months at the most. Considering many here are day traders, all the more true I think this is for this thread. Bob Graham
