this is something I've been wondering about - the unusually high alignment of stocks right now. However I don't think it makes them more brittle. It seems that when all stocks go down at once it's possible to do greater than average damage to the index without much effecting individual stocks, which normally are capable much greater volitility. Big market down days are frequently hardly a glitch on individual stock charts. So when I see something like this synchronicity going on, I suspect the market is finding stability in a sort of hudling activity and that big moves either way will be harder to come by. Shahar
