This 1929-2008 chart on the Dow shows we are still overbought, especially if you look at the trendlines from 1985-1995 and extend it to present day, which indicates a Dow of 7000-7500 as the expected level.

(lowry Reports)<BR/><BR/>You will see a rally and the shorts will cover but the longs will definitely sell into this market on any rise. We are getting close. I am looking for a retest of the 2003 low and crazy as it may sound a possible over shoot below. If I see a huge volume down day followed by a huge volume up day then it will be game time. Why take any chances. When this beast finally does hit bottom there will be plenty of evidence and time to make money.
