Volume was moderate, breadth not great.

Broadcom, Advanced Micro Circuits, Newport, Schlumberger, Apache, and
Juniper making new all-time highs this week?>>
You know I don't follow all of these, but most of the tech stocks you
mentioned are making new highs on low to moderate volume, and
many off of high-risk V-bases.

So far Market internals (Advance/Decline numbers and volume) confirm the
move up on Nasdaq, but note the generally low volume and significant
resistance at around 4200. Then again, it is August.

March through May.>>
My impression is that Nasdaq still needs time, Adam, before we get a
lasting rally. Naz remains in trading range.

Many Internet stocks did well today. Might be in part a short-covering
rally, but all trend reversals start that way, right? Look at the
internet indexes - GIN, DOT, INX - all did quite well. When the
institutions have accumulated enough, we can look forward to those
analyst upgrades...
