LG; I've been getting mixed signals for over a week so I re-did some of my paper portfolios to catch the Feb 1st high, These are weighted and priced as of Jan29th. And only include stocks in the S&P500 -------------------------- Scroll over to see the gain >> It's not very bullish.

The below are not the biggest caps but some of the fastest runners we had up to Jan29th , or so to say they lead the S&P500 up at least untill then. ------------- Symbol Last Trade Change Avg Vol Volume Shrs Value Value Change Gain Paid ^SPX Mar 26 1282.80 -7.19 -0.56% N/A N/A .0001 $0.13 -$0.00 -0.56% $0.00 +0.25% 1279.64 SCH Mar 26 93 +2 1/2 +2.76% 2,075,818 2,657,800 4.0092 $372.86 $10.02 +2.76% $90.96 +32.27% 70.3125 MU Mar 26 47 1/8 -5/16 -0.66% 5,185,727 5,798,700 2.4765 $116.71 -$0.77 -0.66% -$76.77 -39.68% 78.125 SUNW Mar 26 116 1/2 -1 13/16 -1.53% 7,699,363 8,042,000 3.8058 $443.38 -$6.90 -1.53% $18.08 +4.25% 111.75 EMC Mar 26 122 7/8 -1 3/16 -0.96% 4,023,772 3,386,000 5.0184 $616.64 -$5.96 -0.96% $70.26 +12.86% 108.875 PVN Mar 26 107 11/16 +1/2 +0.47% 835,636 776,000 1.416 $152.49 $0.71 +0.47% $9.73 +6.82% 100.8125 AMAT Mar 26 57 13/16 -3 1/4 -5.32% 8,836,590 7,177,500 3.6955 $213.65 -$12.01 -5.32% -$19.86 -8.51% 63.1875 BAC Mar 26 69 7/8 0 0.00% 4,276,909 2,687,400 17.3065 $1,209.29 $0.00 0.00% $51.92 +4.49% 66.875 WFC Mar 26 36 7/16 -13/16 -2.18% 3,989,454 2,840,600 16.1715 $589.25 -$13.14 -2.18% $24.26 +4.29% 34.9375 DELL Mar 26 37 7/8 -1/4 -0.66% 45,160,088 25,308,400 25.4702 $964.68 -$6.37 -0.66% -$308.83 -24.25% 50 CPQ Mar 26 31 1/4 -1/4 -0.79% 16,537,272 11,522,600 17 $531.25 -$4.25 -0.79% -$278.29 -34.38% 47.62 AMP Mar 26 55 7/16 +11/16 +1.26% 965,318 2,053,200 2.1879 $121.29 $1.50 +1.26% $6.16 +5.35% 52.62 AMGN Mar 26 74 5/8 -5/8 -0.83% 4,202,681 3,037,800 5.92 $441.78 -$3.70 -0.83% $63.49 +16.78% 63.90 ATI Mar 26 89 1/4 +2 3/16 +2.51% 3,207,045 3,111,500 5.72 $510.51 $12.51 +2.51% -$41.83 -7.57% 96.5625 TCOMA Mar 9 66 7/16 0 0.00% 5,201,954 0 5.3796 $357.41 $0.00 0.00% -$11.42 -3.10% 68.56
15 symbols Totals(USD): $6,641.29-$28.35-0.43%-$402.13-5.71% ------------------------------ When the recent leaders run out of steam the ice is getting thin, these are down 5.71% from Jan29th worse yet is ORCL KLAC COMS SGI & SEG, all of which were doing good. ------------ Short term signals are mixed and I want to look outside the index for other factors, such as the FED repos, and the 30yr yeald for an indication, however if they don't give more support stocks are looking poor. Even when the market made it's high over 50% of the stocks in the S&P500 were below the price they made last July ( 14% below.) the gains were mostly in the Bigger caps, and the breath has not been good for a long time. While the index is up some, if you tally the market cap of all the stocks you find money has eased off the table since Jan29th , more than the index shows. ------------- I don't feel bullish at all, but I think some short term factors make shorting risky just yet.
