The Dow Jones Industrial Average:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Monday at 8,351.10
up 147.69 points. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the overall
market continues to benefit from positive developments with
the war in Iraq. As the war winds down the market should begin
to stabilize. I am looking for the focus on the market to begin
shift to the economy. I am not expecting sudden surprises in
the market unless there is unexpected violence in Iraq or unless
the conflict escalates outsideof Iraq. The Bottom Line:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average should continue to move higher.

Expectations: Called Higher on April 14th, with the close

The S&P 500 closed Monday at 885.23 up 16.23
points. The S&P 500 moved sharply higher, due to the positive
news from Iraq. I am expecting the S&P 500 to continue to
move higher and test 895.90 on a closing basis.

The NASDAQ 100 (NDX)
The NASDAQ 100 Index closed Monday @ 1,048.31
up 22.16 points. The index still appears to be in a slight downward
trend, but our indicators are pointing higher. Therefore I am
expecting the NDX to continue to move higher and finish filling
the gap when the NDX gapped lower on March 24th from the previous
day's close of 1,093.12 From there it appears the NDX will be
at the upper end of the trading range that has developed this
year. From there it is not clear what the NDX will do, but we
should find out soon.
Current Opinion: Closed @ 1,048.31 Current
Expectations: Called Higher with the close on April 14th
@ 1,048.31. The NDX should move higher and test 1,093.12 on
a closing basis.
