A study based on the Top15 and Bottom15 parameters I compute the number of stocks in the Top 15% and the bottom 15% of the respective 52 week range. These numbers give the stock distribution of a stock group with respect to the 52 week range, and is a good indicator for the distribution of a stock group, a Poisson distribution or a Gaussian distribution. I'll use the S&P 500 stocks in this post, because the S&P 500 stocks represent about 70% of total market capitalization. The data for the week of 7/12 and the last week are as follows: No. of No. of Stocks in Stocks in Date Top 15% Bot 15% ---- --------- --------- 7/12 169 28 7/13 158 31 7/14 156 30 7/15 164 28 7/16 169 30 ... 8/23 122 55 8/24 123 56 8/25 119 45 8/26 102 49 8/27 87 58 The data seemed to indicate that the stocks have moved closer to their mean values. What will market do in the near future? Probably sideways.
