    Thanksgiving week was the weakest Thanksgiving Week for the Dow Industrial Average since

    1932. Last week was one of the strongest weeks ever. This volatility falls perfectly within myyear end forecast that I made in early October; The October 4 th low at 10,404.49 is the low forthe year for the Dow Industrials, and the May 2nd high at 12,876.00 is the high for the year. Mymonthly and annual pivots protect the downside at 11,794 and 11,491 while my quarterly andweekly risky levels at 12,507 and 12,650 limit the upside. Also protecting the downside is a 30-Year US Treasury bond yield at 3%, down from 4 % in February. This decline in yield is theprimary reason why ValuEngine showed 65% of all stocks overvalued in February and 93% ofall stocks undervalued on October 4th.
