@ClarkSquareCap $MICC market leader in ice cream with Unilever retaining a large stake - vote of confidence. Ripped out of last earnings but down quite a bit from initial spin off date. 30% upside left by my estimates.

Something odd is brewing.
In nearly 100 years of history, this has never happened before.
The S&P 500 is within spitting distance of a high yet fewer than 39% of its stocks are even above their 50-day moving averages.

The Nasdaq Composite has gone 480 days since its last low.
Only four other times did the Composite last this long since a low and was within 5% of a record high. Unfortunately for bulls, every single one witnessed losses in the index over the next few months. #Momentum
There have been more declining than advancing stocks in the S&P 500 $SPY for 7 straight days.
The index is less than 3% off its peak.
That's happened twice before in the past 25 years.
The S&P 500 hit record highs for the past 3 days.
It also had more stocks decline than advance each day. That's only happened 3 other times in almost 100 years.
Even 2 days in a row is highly unusual. $SPY
