-OT- The pressure on high PE/no PE [most internets continues], despite frequent rallies that tend to obscure the general trend, many are in danger of breaking their 50 day M/A, and many already have done so and are moving towards their lower 200 day day M/A. The damage is somewhat insidious, as it is not occurring in dramatic fashion, but the cumulative decline of the most extreme cases is significant. Yahoo is down $102 and AMZN is off $100 since their latest April peaks. This is why the messages re: a cautionary stance about maintaining margin in these types of stocks should be considered-still. No evidence of this erosion-rally-errosion [to lower lows] pattern ending. Of the cyclicals, Georgia Pacific GP and IP look especially good, coming off a high level consolidation, and recent stochastic oversold buy. There must be a lot of traders watching the 50 day M/A on SFE, because again today, it hit $71 1/8 [right on the line] and bounced off. This says nothing about whether it will eventually fail. Drugs, despite significant declines and oversold continue to trade very weak. This brings up a point. Oversold in strong stocks like AA,GP, and IP has different implications than oversold on weak stocks like the drugs. Mike

Mike, talking about trading information, thanks for an interesting and timely post. One point I would like to clarify: The moving average figures I am keeping - 50 days m.a (closing) and 200 days m.a (closing) - do not quite match yours: 79 and 43, respectively. Can you think of one reason for the discrepancy ( I am downloading Yahoo figures); also, can you recommend a site that provides better quality data (graphs and stats)?

Thanks - Tom
