ZERO TOLERANCE


The DJIA (30) so far has held above the triple zero breakthrough, although the broader market - SPX (500) has not yet pierced the zero mark of 2000. Various indicators - seasonal, cyclical, technical, and even fundamental- are suggesting a breather after 5 1/2 years of Bull. Although the Investors Intelligence Bulls have dropped below the 60% mark (to 56%), the Bears are now at 15.1%.

Wild rides in the markets, even gold - with 30 and 20 point swings; commercial insider sellers are still huge despite the global turbulence.
