NEW YORK (UPD - Analyst
James Dines says the best ad
vice he can oflcr at this time
is to regard December as an
unusual month.
Dines feels that only traders
should be active at this time
and that both long and short
positions are Justified.
Arthur Wiescnberger & Co.
says that the rise to new high
ground has expanded the bullish
feelings towards the stock mar
ket and that tltc recent surge
of increased confidence is a re
flection of this psychological
factor rather than a "per so"
interpretation of the Dow
theory.
J. W. Sparks Co. expects
a drive to the 780 level in the
Dow-Jones industrial average
over the near term.
Thomson & McKinnon says
that perhaps the best indication
of how tilings are shaping up
for 1964 Is in the large number
of optimistic predictions com
ing from corporate circles.
.Ralph Rolnem of Harris. Up

1964 are most likely to be best
in some of Die formerly neglect
ed or depressed sections such
as chemicals, steels, metals,

and rails.
