         We are out of office today, 
        but wanted to put this brief update for those watching the S&P-- 
        Shown below is the S&P 2 Minute chart through 10AM Friday. Note the 
        steeply decelerating downtrend line. In my view, if the S&P can move 
        back above this trendline later on today, which would equate to a move 
        approximately back above 1330, the market will have concluded its panic 
        low and should start a rally back toward 1400.  
         
        
        On the next page, I show at 
        the top, my Super Hourly RSI, which is an extreme OB/OS Indicator. Over 
        the last two hours, it actually dipped below its lower oversold line. 
        Going back over the last few years, shown in follow on charts, that has 
        been rare to hit the lower line, even in panic declines seen in 2006 and 
        2007. We are now, where we were when the first Sub Prime low was seen in 
        mid-Feb 2007. Other then that, it has been years since 2001, and 2002 
        that we have seen these kinds of oversold 
        values.

        The August 2007 Panic 
        decline.  
        
        
        
        Daily DJIA OB-OS Oscillator 
        at ?180 yesterday, probably near ?210 today, most of the time, you get a 
        healthy bounce off of these readings, even in a Bear Market. Watch 1330 
        closely, if the S&P can climb back above that level, a rally will 
        probably take hold.
