  Hi Bert,

  I don't have the paper from the 21st, but can tell you where to look =
using today's paper. (2/28)

  Look just below the Dow Jones Industrials Chart, lower left of the =
chart and just above the NYSE VOLUME DAILY IN MILLIONS. You'll see a =
tally of the Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) numbers for today.

  Of all the stocks in the IBD6000 (Arithmetic Index of the market as a =
whole), the stocks have A/D numbers as follows:
  750 have an A/D rating of  "A", that number increased +26 from =
yesterday
  2296 are "B", + 11
  1114 are "C", -7
  881 are "D", -3
  377 are "E", -17

  The definition of A/D is as follows:
  ACCUMULATION / DISTRIBUTION (ACC/DIS) RATING:
  One of five Investor's Business Daily SmartSelectT Corporate Ratings, =
this data item allows you to interpret buying and selling activity in a =
stock. It uses a proprietary formula to analyze each stock's daily price =
and volume changes in the latest 13 weeks to determine if the stock has =
been experiencing net accumulation (buying) or distribution (selling) =
activity.

        Rating Indication
      =20
        A Heavy buying=20
        B Moderate buying=20
        C A neutral balance=20
        D Moderate selling=20
        E Heavy selling=20

  Since institutions exert the largest influence on many stocks' price =
and volume, an A or B rating may indicate buying by institutional =
investors.

    Hello,
    I need some help with the acc/dis numbers.

    I went to IBD 2/21/02 issue looking for the following numbers on pg =
B2 and
    could not find them, 2/21/02,675,2182,1171,975,414.

    Where do they come from?  I read the previous post with the numbers =
going
    back to 12/1/98 and understand what is being calculated but don't =
understand
    the significance of the results.

    My HTMMIS is lost in a house redecorating project.

    Thanks for the help
