Katherine,

Can you expound on the statement that WTW broke out?  In looking at the=

chart, I can sorta see a v shaped cwh, but in the handle, the volume di=
d
NOT dry up.....what would you say the pivot point was?

Thanks

You know, I have a simple solution for this kind of dilemma....don't us=
e
the numbers.

I know it's tempting to use a number like this, as it seems to "tell yo=
u
everything" about the stock. But I think once you summarize summary
numbers, you're asking for trouble. I rank the composite score as "mild=
ly
useful."

Here's an example. I'll select a couple of stocks that have come up for=

discussion here in the last few months: WTW and TOL.

Scores?
WTW =3D 96
TOL =3D 95

Yet, look at the charts. WTW broke out today, TOL is rolling over and
playing dead. Doesn't sound like a score of 95/96 "tells" me everything=
 I
need to know about the stocks.

 I just had today's update figures for DGO sent to me.
 The 3 columns are 8/9 DGO data
 8/12 IBD readings 30 minutes ago
 8/12 DGO just received today's download


 Hi Katherine, I hadn't checked today and after reading your note, I
 'thought' I was in error.

 However, I just went and checked several stocks:
                8/9  8/12  8/12
                 DGO  IBD  DGO
 AAON     85     86      83
 AIR          38     55      32
 ABCB       89     90     90
 ABM         77    85      75
 ABN         58    67       58
 ACE         69    86        71
 ACMR     92     95       92
 AES         24     30       25
 AFCE      72     79       74
 AFL         92     95       91


 The first ten (10) I checked showed different numbers.

 My question still stands, which one is better?

 Gene
