The reason junk rallied is there is the 
perception that low is in economy as Norman has suggested.  I personally 
don't believe it and think that even copper's rally has been
a hook...  Junk bonds 
rally when the belief is that the economy is on the mend..  If someone 
stands back and looks at the strong retail number it would be obvious that 
enticing people to buy on big sales not only does not bring much to bottom line 
for retailers but also takes away from future months or qtrs.... I hear many 
retailers are not ordering a lot of inventory to sit on the shelf as it did not 
move last Christmas season as they had hoped.. and the consumer won't pay full 
price.... so. . .   we'll see

  seasonality/thanksgiving
  
  Hello
  copy of a market letter I received  
  11/16/01
  Friday was strong.All of the AD lines were 
  strong.New highs and new lows both decreased on all markets.The 
  secondaries were stronger than the blue chips.However, growth was weaker 
  than value at all levels.
   
  Gold, energy and Utilities are the weak sectors, while the 
  the techs of 1999 are strong.
   
  Like the past week, bonds took a dramatic tumble in early 
  October of 1930, they continued to fall until mid December and than 
  rallied to near their old highs.  After that they moreor less 
  followed stocks until they both bottomed in mid 1932.  Bonds were having 
  a blow offrally and were overdue for a correction so I could be reading a 
  little more into this corretionthan is appropriate.  Also 
  interesting, while nearly all bonds got hit last week, Junk 
  rallied.
   
  The first rally after the crash of 1929 lasted about 6 
  months, after that the rallies became shorter and less sharp.  That 
  does not quite follow the current pattern as this rally appears to have 
  some legs left and is likely to last for another month or so, but the dramatic 
  break in bonds last week is reminisent of the parallels in the 30's when 
  stocks and bonds were out of synch for several years and in the end took a 
  final tumble together.
   
  In the past 2 days all but one of the broad based signals 
  has gone from long to short.However, many of these signals were recently 
  re-optimized to just the past years dataso they are very 
  conservative.  Most of the indicators turned downward from, in many 
  cases,record highs at the end of last week.  The extreme strength in 
  the indicators suggests thisrally has some time left because you would 
  expect some divergences from record high readingsbefore prices made a 
  final top.  However, my problem with the Sept 21 bottom has been 
  thatthere were no divergences from what was in many cases record low 
  readings on the indicators.
   
  It is encouraging to see the only signal remaining long is 
  the small cap signal.  A pattern that you often see coming off 
  oversold bottoms is the issues that led the way down initiallylead the way 
  up.  Then leadership changes to the issues that were strongest before the 
  tumbleand those were the small caps.
   
  Seasonality is most profitably applied to the small caps and 
  we have one of the seasonallybest periods coming next week.  The day 
  before and the day after Thanksgiving are two of thestrongest days of the 
  year.  There is a little conflict this year in that the day 
  afterThanksgiving is normally one of the strongest of the year while the 
  Friday after witchingis one of the weakest and Friday is 
both.
   
  You can see in the tables below that Monday and Tuesday of 
  Thanksgiving week have been two of the worst days while Wednesday and 
  Friday have been two of the best.The last week of November has also been 
  strong as well as the first 3 days of December.
   
  I will be taking long positions in all accounts as of 
  Tuesday's close and unless thereis some unforseen deterioration, hold them 
  until Wednesday December 5.
