Hi Mike,
Take a look at the IBD Big Picture page (General Markets & Sectors, =
usually page B2)....then look at the Dow Jones Industrials graph, lower =
left. You'll see a summary of A/D numbers. I'm looking at 6/13's paper, =
but it says:
A 528 -16, B 1921 -49, etc.
Meaning 528 A's currently, down 16 from the previous day, etc.
One thing to keep in mind about the A/D numbers is that they are a =
*lagging* indicator of current activity. Good for determining trend, but =
may not necessarily tell the whole story at a turning point--only the =
price/volume action of individual stocks tells that in a comprehensive =
way. That said, I am not disputing what Fred was saying, just adding a =
cautionary interpretive note.

Just curious, how do you know that the number of A's and B's dropped? =
Is
that in the paper somewhere?

If the action on Monday was truly the beginning of the new bull, why =
was
there a drop in the number of A's and B's in the Acc/Dis numbers in =
IBD.
Also, please note the low volume. It looks to me as if the individual
optimists were suckered in again and the big boys were selling into =
the
rally.
Just a word of caution to those of you who have itchy trade fingers.
