The strong action Tuesday in the usually stodgy old industrial

groups such as steel, mining and farm when equipment prompted a 【S1】______

number of market commentators to shake their heads in dismay and 【S2】______

comment on the outrageous quarter-end window-dressing games.

But the attitude is that these stocks are being artificially manipulated 【S3】______

by desperate funds trying to send the message on that they are 【S4】______

holding the hottest groups and not with the technology and chip 【S5】______

stocks that have been the big losers recently.

Certainly, manipulation of stock at prices is not something that we 【S6】______

want to promote, but in many cases what we are seeing is simply 【S7】______

traders creating a self-fulfilling prophecy' rather than outright

manipulation. Traders expect window-dressing to occur in the stocks

that have been hottest lately. They don't wait for the moves to occur

without them; because they get in front of the anticipated move and 【S8】______

cause it to occur. In many cases, since the end-of-the-quarter 【S9】______

window-dressing is nothing more than the work of overzealous traders.

Whatever the cause of quarter-end price in movement might be, as 【S10】______

traders like we must take advantage of it. A lot of commentators 【S11】______

whine about how terrible it is that these games are played, but if you

are a longer-term investor, so short-term price movements are totally 【S12】______

irrelevant, and if you are a short-term trader you should be happy to

see the increased volatility.
