The most popular stock index in the world hit an all-time high last Tuesday, but very few stocks are above their intermediate-term trends, let alone their long-term trends. When you dive deeper, even fewer sectors, industry groups, and individual stocks are in uptrends, and the smaller you go in company size, the darker it gets.
In fact, only one of the S&P 500 sectors joined the index at its all-time-high this past week, and that was the Consumer Discretionary sector. This type of thin participation didn't even happen during the 2000-02 or 2007-09 market crashes.
