Thought it might have been closed-end funds, but my database which excludes exchange-traded funds for breadth data shows similar decrease in lows. Telecoms actually continued to get stronger on Friday. In the bottomfish area, there were small increases for many of the stocks in the financial sector, including mortgage and consumer lending, as well as some other sectors that reduced the new 52-week lows list.
