Hi Steve,

Right now it depends on tomorrow's employment report.  A very mild report
will move the market up, otherwise it is likely down.  Next week: additional
reports and then the FOMC meeting on Aug 24th.

The kids playing the Internet stocks have learned the meaning of
"correction".  I suspect they may soon learn the meaning of "dead cat
bounce" after today.

Comments anyone?

                                        Good luck and good trading,

                                                    Ray Raffurty

and NDX lead the broader market.  The OEX is pretty much in lockstep with
the SPX and I often trade options on this index (mostly I trade stocks).  As
for time frames, I focus on hourly, daily and weekly data.  For a Long
entry, I look for the hourly indicators to be UP, the daily indicators DOWN,
and the weekly indicators UP.  My indicators are simple, a mixture of moving
averages and oscillators.

close of 7/29/99.  However,by my calculation, we are at support levels as of
Wedneday's close .  Also, Friday is a Gann Square Date.  So, looks to me as
if we are at a juncture here.  Will be interesting.
