MISSING ACCOMPLISHED

In observance of my weekly vacation the markets went on a wild ride last week, with the S&P 500 (SPX) going from a Friday-to-Friday close of 1878 all the way to ......1878! Most all of the Sentiment Indicators were on hold, midrange with another holiday on the horizon.
Apparently the Sell in May crowd also spread to the Buy in May crowd, both taking the week off , with this week looking the same. Even the Insider sellers slowed down their selling.

Here are the numbers:
