Hi Tom:

It sure looked like mostly short-covering from my vantage point. We were due
for it.

That being said, the Oct 10 - Dec 3 rally started out the same way - driven
by temporary seller exhaustion and a ton of short covering. So theres
nothing to say that this cannot last a while too.


One thing that really stands out to me is that the SOXX actually bottomed
way back on February 7 - and resisted any drop in the last 2 weeks. The SOXX
is up 11 1/2% from yesterdays low, which is a staggering 9 hours of trading
for a major index.

IMO, this increases the chances that there are a few days/weeks of staying
power in the NASDAQ just from the strength of the semis.

Just remember, that if you look at a 3-year weekly chart of the OEX, and
watch the 40-week EMA, you will find that it has been the ceiling for every
rally. So if we do have a rally, I'd be looking to go short at OEX 460.

We'll see.

Cheers,

Ian
