The CBOE Equity put/call ratio is 56, down 10 points from last week; the McClellan Summation Index is above 900, and the bull/bear surveys are being stretched toward complacency after triggering the recent bull move. In fact the Market Vane hit a new high of 74, and the Bullish per cent has risen to 77. Although Insider selling has backed off to 17:1, record short interest (up another 5% on the NYSE), specialist shorting and IBD's short interest are high also.
