March begins quietly, both in weather and in stocks. Last week saw Sentiment Indicators more in the neutral zone, but pointing in a positive direction. My cum Advance/Decline total reached another all time high on the NYSE, as its weekly A/D almost reached a 10:1 ratio - SOS.

VIX slid to a 13 handle, as Barron's reports the average at 19, but gold Commercials (read smart money) still remain at the high Selling level, but receding.. Still in the Commitment of Traders section, small SPX traders are shorting more each week, as large ones (smart??) are Buying.

Most significant, but not unusual this time of year (tax time): CEO Insider selling by Sector jumped to over  Million, with the ratio at 68:1, but Board members and 10% owners remained quiet.
