Serious under performance of the Broker/Dealer Index
Since the new lows of Feb 11, SPX rallied a bit over 12% at last week’s high. Compare that with the US Broker Dealer Index (XBD) which has only gone up 6.7%, and remains below the low of late September. Not exactly the picture of a broad based bull market. (Idea noted from Doug Noland’s Credit Bubble Bulletin).
