In bear markets the vast majority of stocks do so, whereas in bull markets stocks tend to march to the beat of their own drummer. It’s at market tops, therefore, when stocks’ moves in step with the overall market tend to be at the lowest point. Such as it is now. Last week, even as the broad market averages rose to within shouting distance of their all-time highs and some secondary averages actually did so, just 7.2% of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange hit new 52-week highs. A slightly greater percentage of stocks — 7.3% — hit new 52-week lows."
