A yr ago right about now they told us that 'only seven stocks were going up and the bear would come back soon'. I'm old enough to remember explaining that various A/D lines were actually making new all-time highs and it wasn't 7 stocks. Boy, that made them mad.

After a 27% rally in 5 months, stocks gave some back. This isn't a bad thing and is perfectly normal. YTD we see 10 of 11 sectors are higher, with cyclical areas like energy, industrials and financials leading the way. pic.twitter.com/uZQyd3iDr5
