Technical Market Action J The thirty stocks mentioned in my special letter of Februexy 11th have, in nost instces, sho.m bettor than average action. These stocks were all selected because of their large potential llccunulation areas. While most of them have moved up from their Februnry lows, substantially higher levels are indicated in the event of an upside penetration of the lonb eighteen-nonth trading renges. I an re-listing these issues below together with their potential long term price objectives.

As is nornal technically, the market continues to meet resistance at the 175-l176 supply area in the Dow-Jones industrial average. The cornction of the sharp ten point advance in five trading days seews to be taking the form o a consolidation rather than a decline. Continue to expect support in the 172tllt arer. followed by a continuation of the internediate upswing to the next reslstance area at 179-181. Froll that point, it is possible that a secondary correction of the fifteen-point !,dvance oi!;ht occur. This correction could retrace a third to a half of the advance and bring the averaees back to 175-172. BeliEve such a technical correction will be followed by a testing of the July high of 187.66 and a possible bull narket signal. As for the rails, would not be surprised if they penetrated the 54.17 high of .January on the next advance. The advance could carry to 57-58 followed by a technical correction back to 55-54. Believe the longer tern objective in the rail ayerage is in the 75-80 area. Continue to consider selected rails as outstandingly nttractive. EDMUND W.
