making predictions is difficult...especially about the future.
In a former life, I produced historical statistical reports out the
wazoo. I no longer have these reports. But one thing I do remember is
that since 1978, anytime the number of new lows divided by the issues
traded was over 30%, the next day (today) has had a positive close,
everytime. Yesterday's decline created a reading above 30%.
will it happen again this time? I don't know and neither do you.
I will be looking to get long.
Why only since 1978? 1978 was the first year that the NYSE started
calculating New 52 week Lows on a rolling 52 week lookback basis.
