Davies and his very rich wife returned last week from their purgatorial year in Russia, to report to Franklin Roosevelt and make ready to go to Belgium, his next step toward Ambassadorial eminence.

This week's Rhea letter said that every upward zig-zag step, if confirmed by both averages, would be bullish, but a downward zigzag prior to penetration of 121 and 23.5 would mean danger...
