November 16, 2012 by
Fear Levels and the Stock Market … The market has been dropping this week, and the NYSE New Lows have jumped from 81 last Friday to 258 at the close yesterday. Sounds like higher fear levels doesn’t it? After all, if the “New Lows” increase 318% since last Friday, it would seem like there was [...]
