I've been noticing over the past 2-months that some things I've used that were ironclad in the bear have not been as useful. The failure of those bear indicators may mean that we're getting close to the end of the bear market (probably one last swoon from whatever top we get in the next 2-months to sub-1000 COMP), and we've got to treat this particular ramp differently than other bear rallies.
VXN is in a new zone, NASI also, Les' scans, my Dump-o-meter NALOW, NYLOW, <G>, etc,etc.
