To play the devil's advocate (spelled IBD):
> 1. M must be rising
It has since 9/11.

> 2. We must be only buying stocks with strongly rising revenues and EPS
True in any market.

> 3. We shouldn't be buying 'yesteryears winners', whose revenues and EPS
are declining

True. But, techs were yesteryears winners. This years? How bout Gaming,
Homebuilders, consumer, finance, medical, retail, etc...Though  I considered
them cyclical, they led this "hidden" rally. (I missed them all...)

> 4. The indexes are made up of '3'
Techs led the last big bull. The indexes are far more watered down, hence
the rise since last year.

> 5. 'M' is defined as '4', the indexes
See 1.

Of course I know it's not that cut and dried. WON says the new leaders won't
be the ones from the last rally. That explains the lack of techs and the
rise in the "boring" stocks mentioned above. One of the big problems I had
was not committing to these new leaders because they looked like
non-exciting areas to me. Boy was I wrong! I'm still watching Homebuilders
speed forward thinking they must run out of steam soon.
