>>how is this rally which still pales in comparison to july and october 2002 and sept 2001 for that matter in terms of distance traveled in the same amount of days?<<
I know it's getting near my bedtime but I don't understand the question. Can you repeat that? <VBG>
how is this rally -- which still pales in comparison to july and october 2002 and sept 2001 for that matter in terms of distance traveled in the same [number] of days -- INSERT THE REMAINDER OF THE QUESTION HERE ?

"MORE INDICATIVE OF PPT ACTION THAN PREVIOUS BEAR MARKET RALLIES?"
Thus, the full question would have read:
