 Weekly Commentary  

The major indexes improved significantly this week with the NASDAQ leading the way. Despite this improvement our market trend indicators remain negative due to the continuing disappointing volume levels which remain below the 50 day average. This is evident on the chart below and note that  the average volume line is trending down.

NASDAQ Composite

Continuing Server Difficulties


Our new server continued to give us problems this week with an unreliable real time data feed. This caused us to miss some real time breakout and breakdown alerts and to some inaccuracies in our end-of day reports. To compensate our subscribers, I have extended everyone's subscription by a full week (7 days).  I deeply regret these errors and have worked hard over the weekend to ensure these difficulties are resolved. All breakouts and breakdowns for the week are shown below.
