July losses The DOW -.53% S&P 500 -3.2% Russell 2000 -7.2% ...I'm suggesting here that the new preference for the blue chips in the Dow is a sign that investors are getting more nervous about the stock market and are shifting to the "safest" stocks. ...Here's the point. The Dow/S&P ratio bottomed in 2000 as the market was peaking. The ratio peaked in 2002 as the market was bottoming. The ratio is now rising. In the past, a rising Dow/S&P 500 ratio has coincided with a weaker market. That's why recent preference for blue chips isn't a good sign. -John Murphy stockcharts.com (smart guy)
