6/18/1997		POOR	SEP	$3.63	63.62%	$0.36	($0.29)	$0.10	$0.69	$3.15	$3.42	92.17%
		MDI'S AVERAGE "GOOD " PRICE - FUTURES PRICE						$4.51	Futures High was		$4.98
		AVERAGE FUTURES  PRICE FOR THE PERIOD WAS						$3.87	vs. MDI Average		$4.51
		AMOUNT "GOOD" OVER AVERAGE  PRICE						$0.64	MDI as a % of High		90.63%
NOTE #1:		The "POOR" rating given on 11/22/96 means that our system feels prices are close to a bottom.  Using the Cash Move Hi
		to Low figure of $1.28 + Today's Cash Price of $3.05 means a target top price of $4.33.  We feel that using 80-90% of the
		projected Cash Change price for long term planning may be appropriate.  Using this figure for downward movement in prices
		following a "GOOD" rating may also be worthwhile to evaluate risk.   This becomes less valuable over short time periods.
NOTE #2:		Pricing with a "GOOD" rating and a % of Past over 102-105% appears profitable and not selling with a "POOR" rating and a
		price below 95% of Past also appears prudent - REMEMBER YOUR TARGET PRICES and PRICE at or above those prices!
