Hello RT'rs,...

Following is excert from my End of Week Notes,..just
personal observations and forward looking analysis.
Would appreciate any thoughts or comments,...and have 
a good week.  Regards, JIM Pilliod  jpilleafe@xxxxxxx

****************************************
End  of Week Notes    Fri 07-14-00  

RISK IS HIGH,OPEN MINDED TO WAVE "B" HIGH 07-20, WAVE "C" LOW 09-19.

SYMMETRY: For S&P500, from 03-24 high to 05-23 low was 42 mkt days.  From 
05-23 low, project forward 42 mkt days is 07-20 as Bear Mkt Rally "B Wave" 
High.  Significantly, 07-20 is Bradley (both M & 5) Models Key Date, 
indicated as a HIGH.  From high 07-20,...another 42 mkt days targets 09-19 
LOW.  And this is noteworthy  as Thurs 09-21 is Parallax Long Term Weekly 
Turn #4 of 6 for year 2000.   So open minded to a  "C" Wave  decline into 
09-21.   In my humble opinion,..near term risk is high. 

NEAR TERM QUESTIONABLE: Although no outright "Sells" yet,..several favorite 
key indicators are close.  Weekly CBOE Put/Call ratio 0.38 at "Sell Alert" 
(0.34 to 0.36 is outright Sell).  TGI at 6.7 is overbought with weak Avg Vol 
Factor 4.1 (below 5.0 is worrisome).  And summer rally typical from seasonal 
April - May  low into July - Aug high,...again suggesting we are NOT at the 
beginning of a major up leg.     

NASDAQ NEAR .618 RETRACEMENT RESISTANCE.  First resistance 3900-4000 (was 
area of greatest QQQ option open interest) now overcome, so next resistance 
target is 0.618 retracement of the 03-10 to 05-24 decline is approximately 
4300 -4400 level,..just above current 4244 close.  Another factor suggesting 
limited upside 
from current levels.
 
CURRENTLY our portfolio is 70% long International Growth (30% cash), and I 
will likely exit to 100% cash on Mon 07-17. Friendly to pursuit of overseas 
follow through BUT only when setup is "compelling".
