What's Your Deal?

The phrase of the week is from Pete Carroll, then Coach of the USC Trojans to Jim Harbaugh, Stanford Coach, when he seemed to run up the score of a game before each of them "turned" Pro. Next Sunday should be quite a game.

In other Sentiment news, most Indicators backed off from their Extreme  highs last week, with a couple exceptions. Breadth, as measured by A/D (advance and declines) were strong, especially the new highs to lows - both NYSE and NAS 10:1. And the latter's Volume to NYSE hit a RECORD HIGH of 3.17:1 - very speculative!

Investors Intelligence Bulls were still over 60%, and the Insider Selling continues at a record pace, both the 10% stock owners and the Officers/Board that I am starting to track a la finviz.com.
