Despite pleas of broadening out, the equity market is teetering on a disbroadening.
Here were yesterday’s stats:
* $SPY -0.29%
* $QQQ +0.27%
* $IWM -0.89%
* $RSP -1.22%
To me, key to the broadening-out thesis would be continued strength in financials, which was nowhere to be found:
* $JPM -$8
* $C – $3
* $KRE challenging (to the downside) some important support.
Position: Short JPM (S), C (S)
