Re: [RT]Group Breadth

Duke,
My forecasts for the next day work out pretty well. I use a 
specialist model and predict the direction and sometimes the 
activity of the Dow for the next day. For yesterday I predicted 
alternating Northerly and Southerly winds....Indicating lots of 
large moves. By 13:30 the Dow had made 5 moves that were an average 
of over 100 points. In the afternoon there were 2 - 200 point moves.
For today the forecast was strong notherly winds. And the result is 
the Dow up a hair short of 150 points. I post the raw data I use for 
free on the web and am looking to have it used in some commercial 
product down the road.
