Hi Bill,

I have been reading your comments lately, and I was wondering if you believe that the 2007-2008 bear market is close to finishing within the next 6 months. The bullish percent for the S&P is improving. On the other hand, the Dow has had weekly closes below its 200 week moving average. If the index moves down past that support level, could we see a downside to something like the 200 month average, which was what we saw with the Nasdaq in 2003? I am also curious if the turnaround will involve a session in which 90 percent of the stocks will go to the upside. Would you see that as a viable signal?

Finally, if American elections have an impact on certain sectors, would you say that the health/care biotech sector would be under pressure should a "certain someone with certain promises" get into office?

Thank you very much again for your blogposts.Very insightful.

Jeff
