maybe... but i have a hunch that it is more likely reflective of investor behavior. >>For the most part, the behavior of online investors resembles the activity of those whose most popular holdings are catalogued by brokerages such as Merrill Lynch. Account holders at Merrill Lynch are sticking with their losers. Every stock among the top 20 in Merrill Lynch's most widely held list is down sharply since Jan. 2, and down sharply from a year ago. Wal-Mart shares (WMT: news, chart, profile), which are also in the CBS MarketWatch top 20, have fared best with a mere 18 percent loss in the past 12 months.<<
