Last week saw a rare decline in Advance/Decline stocks in the NYSE; Volume was slightly better than the previous Holiday week, which was the weakest of the year. Funnily enough, Insider trading, for the year end, was very mild - both buying and selling. Gold, however, remains heavily shorted - an harbinger of bad tidings for the intermediate future, with a strong U S, and US Dollar.
Here are last week's numbers:
