ratio of stocks to oil prices:

For the last 2 years, the ratio of the S&P 500 to the price of oil has been constant. Both oil and stocks went up together. Recently, this has broken down. Oil is still going up, but stocks have stopped going up at the same pace. This is a warning sign, that high oil prices are hurting the economy. If I used Brent prices, the recent relative under-performance of stocks would be greater.

disclosure: I am now 70% cash, the highest cash position I've had since mid-2008.
