Chart of the Day
Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Larry Thompson (@HostileCharts). It's a ratio chart of the Technology Sector vs. the S&P 500 ($XLK/$SPX). Tech is down more than 25% YTD, making it the second worst sector in the S&P 500. This is an issue given that Tech represents 26% of the S&P 500, and 50% of the Nasdaq 100. It broke down to new 15-month lows on a relative basis today, below a shelf of support that has been in place for five months. It's going to be hard for the major indices to make any progress if Tech continues to underperform.
Quote of the Day
"You learn a little about yourself during bull markets.
You learn a lot about yourself during bear markets."
