As the Nasdaq Composite prints new highs every day the ten-day difference of Nasdaq stocks new 52-week high minus 52-week lows prints new lows.
We have 531 stocks up 25% or more in the last 65-days versus 506 that are down 25% or more in the last 65-days. That's pretty even for a market printing highs,
SP500 vs. the 5-day average of stocks up 25% or more in the last 65-days minus the stocks down 25% or more in the last 65-days.
We also have more stocks down 13% or more in the last 34-days than we have stocks up 13% or more.
What is the solution to this? Own the index ETF's; $QQQ, $SPY, $IWM, $ONEK. Simple.
Will this negative divergence finally catch up to the indices? Maybe. Individual stocks can also catch up to the indices and make all this bad breadth go away. Negative divergences, unlike positive divergences, don't work that often and can last a very long time. On the days when the big liquid leaders (FAANGT) take a breather, the laggards bounce.
This slow grind up is rocking many to sleep.

We live in a world in which we are bombarded with information, tweets, blogs, etc., content is the new salesman, content is the new marketing, content is the new networking. With information being so readily available, bloggers try to differentiate themselves with their writing skills, volume, and consistency, putting out blog posts to meet quotas. We are seeking to stand out from the crowd by showing performance, by taking all the information and seeking alpha, that’s the sole purpose of the blog. It won’t always be pretty; it’s never easy, and performance is spotty, but we seek superior risk-adjusted returns, not notoriety for our writing skills. If this is something you can relate to, then this blog is for you.
