  The government still claims that there is no 
  inflation.  Gas prices are $2.50 per Gal. here.  Almost everything 
  that is purchased is transported by truck.  That cost will also be on the 
  rise.  
   
  Housing costs continue to rise. Just down the 
  road in Palo Alto the average home cost is $985,000.  Health care costs 
  and other insurance costs are skyrocketing as is the commodity 
  index.  How much longer can the government ignore what is 
  happening?  
   
  Low interest rates have not created new jobs 
  here, but India and other foreign countries are having a boon.  We 
  are shipping our jobs overseas where the service and manufacturing costs 
  are far less.  I have to admit, so is the quality of service provided by 
  the overseas support. 
   
  Just some thoughts.  Ira.

    Fascinating market action ... SPX has rallied to 1162.99 (within my 
    target range) while the price of the June 1150 puts I hold (and had orders 
    for more) has also rallied. This suggests that the market is putting in 
    a blow-off. Had to short emini since it looks like they won't fill my put 
    order.
     
    I assume that this rally is all about the perceived notion that the Fed 
    won't raise rates so the market can party longer. Not a thought to the 
    fact that continued employment problems will lead to reduced consumption and 
    other (economic and political) fall-out from reduced consumer confidence. 
    Foreign currencies are rallying hard which means even higher energy prices 
    are in the cards.

      SPX is very close to long standing target range of 1060-1073 which 
      includes: 50% retracement to ATH, 200% expansion of Oct02-Mar03 
      swing, and Dec01-Mar02 triple top. 
       
      I closed out long emini position just ahead of Thursday's close 
      leaving in place a SPX put established on Wednesday. I also have 
      orders working to add to put position on any rally from monthly 
      Employment Lie. During the past couple of weeks I've closed out all 
      trading positions in stocks and now hold significant cash position. I 
      still like energy stocks and hold core positions to which I will add 
      during any correction in equities.
       
      There should be good support in the 1015+- area which includes the 
      38% retracement to the Mar03 low and the Jun-Jul03 highs. If this area 
      holds, then another run to higher highs (1250+-) could be in the cards. On 
      a fundamental basis, the market is richly priced and risks are strongly to 
      the downside should the public lose its taste for speculation.

        Most likely  3/5/04  should be a 
        top for a while
         
        get out of longs and  if you have long 
        term gains  consider writing calls
         
        most likely next is  1050 on 
        sp
         
        if I am wrong, the max upside is only 10-15 
        sp points
         
        best regards
