My fellow J.E.D.I.,

Please see weekly chart below of the Mini-Sized Dow Index dated June 20, 2008.

WEEKLY CHART:

While volume is increasing on the down moves and declining on the up moves in the intermediate term, volume appears to be diminishing on the down moves in the long term (see volume above for the period of October 2007 to the present). This suggest that selling pressure is diminishing over the long term and that an upward bounce is likely some time in the future that will cause a bottom in this index. When? I cannot say. In otherwords eventually the bears will go into hybernation (they always do, just before Winter) and the bulls will make a comeback for the long term!

I do not see the markets bottoming anytime soon, however.

Good Luck!

And remember, follow THE J.E.D.I. WAY, and the force will be with you.

Best Regards,
