Winston,

It's just interesting that for years, IBD ( and WON) has always been focused
on the three major indexes reading the markets. When there were follow-thrus
on at least one of them (preferably all) - then I would look at the areas
(small to large cap) to invest. Now, the point is taken that the reason
behind it was to help reduce the chances of losses tied to the general
market trending down.

Btw, thanks for the info on IJS. I haven't been following these ETF's. Makes
for a great small cap indicator!
