Subj : Market Action To : All From : Paul Rogers Date : Thu Aug 26 2004 04:43 pm


"What if they gave a party and nobody came?"  The whole range of the
day's trade took place within 5pts, closing up only 0.13pt!  Volume was
down -23% below average.  In this case I think the crowd is right--stand
aside and watch, there's no reason to be trying to make something out of
nothing.  Volume has been telling us this rally is a sham.

 Price     Vola-     Momen-    Volume    Oscil-    Summ.

Timing Signals:  I don't use or recommend timing signals, but they're
fun to watch.  If I did though, well, I might use something like this.
(Be warned!!  It tends to whipsaw around signal points!)

Last Signal: BUY        Date:  08/24/04 S&P:    1096
Winner or Loser:  tbd                   By:     tbd
