The Dow and S&P 500 bear markets may complete in late 2004 but it could
take until 2006. The Nasdaq Bear Market will most likely complete in
2004, but the lows for many small-cap Nasdaq stocks are certainly in.
Executive Summary
<<Congressional news about a Medicare drug benefit sent a number of
healthcare names higher on Friday. <bHowever, the market finally put in a
high volume reversal day that feels like the start of a correction that will
last at least a few weeks. It is time to protect profits on long positions and it
is probably too early to think about buying dips>> via spear report.
