20121123 Moving Average Breadth
The short holiday week was not short on action. One argument is to not put much weight in this week due to the low volume. That might be right, but In my experience you can get a sneak attack that reverses trends when no one is looking. This week the breadth figures show the participation looks good so far.
First the Total universe of 1960 companies posted over the $SPY
Next I split the universe into 10 broad sectors
Consumer Staples
Energy
Financials
Industrials
Materials
Technology
Telecom
Utilities
These are custom indexes so you cannot invest directly in them, but there are plenty of ETFs available for each sector. For me personally this is another form of relative strength, just with a broader lens .
Good Luck! It is there for you to make.
