Topic of the Week… Topic of the Week… Yellow Flag: More on the Tenuous State of Current Market Conditions

Last week we suggested that we might be in for “rough trading ahead!”. The gist of the argument was that for some large databases of stocks that we maintain, the majority of constituents have shown negative trends. We normally don’t want to spend a lot of time finding a few exceptional situations where individual stocks “buck the trend”, because normally they don’t fight the predominant trend for long.

This week, we find that there has been some improvement in that situation, but other measures of the broader market still suggest that caution is indicated. More on that below.
