Means the big money is pulling away. Bear in mind the real movers of the major indices are the guys and girls who do the trading for all the Mutual Funds, ETF’s and individual issues held by Insurance companies, Mutual Fund companies, Pension Funds and other massive investors.

To push the DOW around takes billions of dollars in trades.

So if they are selling, where are they putting it? I don’t have to time right now to do any searches, but that’s where I would start.

Where is the money going, and then consider following it. The problem is you are already late. The train has left the station and to get on you’re going to have to drive down the road, if you’ll pardon my metaphor.
