Getting By with a Little Help from the FED

Now then . . the market breath remains narrow, meaning there are fewer stocks that lead the indexes higher, not a good sign. But other indicators like up/down volume and new highs / lows remain more positive. We'll take it. Looking at the short term sector strength table below we see the narrow focus is accentually on the Technology based sectors. That's kind of OK, but it sure would be better to see Financials, Industrials and Consumer Discretionary improve as well. Since the US economy is consumer driven, that strength will be important if we are to move forward for any length of time. Also note below that Defensive sectors are toward the bottom of the list; that's positive.
