Dave,

Given move in the market over the last few weeks, would you say that a pull back would be expected?

Hope to see you in NY in Feb.

Thanks
Don

Don,

A pull back of what size? If you mean an multi-week or large point pull back, the 2-year chart suggests that is less likely than a continuation. However, I expect that earning reports over the next two weeks hold the real answer. Good guidance pull back less likely. Weak guidance pull back more likely.

I hope this helps.

Dave

Patek,

Thanks for stopping by. This is very objective technical analysis that leaves the balderdash and almost worthless opinions to the media and other sites that speak as if they can think the future.
