Ugly Day Sector Sort

I've been including a daily sector recap at the bottom of this list. This list is sorted best to worst each day. There are 99 sectors. I count each of the positive sectors and compute the average sector gain and do the same for the losers.

Today only 3 of the 99 sectors were positive. But I also note that YTD only 29 of 99 sectors are positive. Now if I were a really clever girl, I would come up with some proprietary signal and call it something exotic that would be my signature "tell" for what the market was going to do x out of y times!

For now, you get the summary and can draw your own conclusions. My conclusion is that on a YTD basis, when only 29 out of 99 sectors, or 29%, are green, then that is not a healthy thing for the market overall.
