stocks are red now.
9Sell-off NASDAQ 1008/13/02 at 100pm

reaction rallies (green color).
10Is there Life?NASDAQ 1008/14/02 at 900am
Hmmm. What is this?
With the entire map red and below the plane, we
see one cylinder poking up. So, we investigate
(next..)
11An Early MoverNetwork Appliances8/14/02 at
900am
Click the Cylinder to bring up the chart.
Network Appliances is in a strong up-trend. We
could trade this stock as a counter-trend play.
It is also indicative of a potential change in
trend.
12The Turn MaturesNasdaq 1008/14/02 at 1000am
More stocks turning up and green.
View from beneath the map.
13More UpsideNasdaq 1008/14/02 at 1115am
Resistance
Note that this is the same level we had earlier
in the day (about 915). But, almost all of the
map is green! This provides confirmation that a
move is underway.
14Should we exit?Nasdaq 1008/14/02 at 1215pm
Our first pullback. A primary value of the
consensus map is you see strength. The majority
of cylinders are still green, so we stay on board
with the move.
15Ride em Cowboy!Nasdaq 1008/14/02 at 1245pm
By this point, the market is in a full-blown
rally, with very broad support. But dont get
cocky! We should investigate the red cylinders,
which is easy to do (just click them!)
16How about the other indexes? Lets take a look at
what happened on the Dow.
