Zeev, over on SI, you postulated a rationale for the possibility of a semi-cyclical move in the next upleg. In this example you gave a needed signal of 50% of the semis that went above the 200 DMA, staying there on the first retrencement. My question is on the time frame for this. The semis are so far below the 200 DMA, that it will take a marked naz move to say 1550 or more , to get above this level. Am I thinking correctly to say that in order to get a move to 200 DMA for the semis, you are speaking past October and into 2003 for the first real run and then retrenchment? The other question is if I am charting the 200 DAY MA correctly; using stockcharts it looks like the 200 day MA is as I stated, but I am not sure i have done this correctly. Thanks, Rick

For those interested, I've just updated the Zeev's Ideas Board. I've included several messages posted on September 29th and 30th, which I must have misplaced last week. (Really, Daddy, I'll never do it again.)

I am cutting back on the number of posts that I put in the TRADING category. The purpose of the category is to pull out trade triggers, trading mindset hints, and similar material which might be of value to those learning to trade. After one accumulates a core set of these ideas, what follows is mostly repetition. If I happen to see something that seems to have a slightly different nuance, I'll grab it. If it seems like a repeat of information already captured, I'll probably skip it.

Some of you may note that I occasionally include the time with a post. I try to do this when a call of some type is involved. It helps to show the prescience (or otherwise) of the call.
