JASON - OH, THE HORROR!

As we end the 4th of July weekend, we enter JASON in the stock market: July through November. If history be our guide, the (legal) Insider Trading chart does not bode well for this underperforming semi-annual cycle. Previous tops of high selling by corporate Insiders came in July of last year, October, and this past April.
A longer chart shows households with an above average percentage of stock holdings, which could lead to an underperforming next decade; especially after the Fed-led rally of the past one. Another negative is my new Sentiment Indicator - the Delta MSI (market sentiment) - showing just above 50% of stocks on a Buy signal (Moving Averages). This mirrors its sibling the Bullish % with the same number (see below).

Other standouts are the 2 and 10-year Treasuries yields dropping; the TIP Inflation ETF at a recent high of almost 117 (123 is the long term high); and on the Bullish case, the AAII Bears dominate the Bulls 33 to 29.
