to construct a Cumulative Advance and Decline Index (CADI)for my<BR>>

of Falling<BR>> Counters, and Nos of counter Unchanged, all in

convert into excel and do some<BR>> manipulation there, but I find it
very troublesome for daily updating. <BR>> Is there an easilier way

Guy,
I'm back from my business trip just in time to see that you went long
again. Sure hope you are right on again <G>. I did good while I was gone
even though I was stopped out of several positions. I'm about 40% cash now
and looking to get back to fully invested when I get caught up.
