Hi bear, Your post got me thinking. Here's a look from a monthly perspective on the SPX going back a long way: screencast.com Note that when Macd topped out in 98 (which may well be what happened this month also) the market needed time to complete distribution of almost 14 months. During that time adv/decl weakened slowly and the semi's had a huge dot.com blow off top. Not saying it will repeat like that again, but I do think time is needed for this top to complete the distribution of all stocks. During that time - being a good stock picker is what it is all about. Those who buy what worked last year will be holding the bag - getting their hopes up with what is only a tease. Watching sector strength will be very important.
