% of Stocks Over 50 Day Moving Average Reaching Rally Extremes in both S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100

Obviously we are sitting at some very overbought levels.  Below are the % of stocks over their 50 day moving averages in both the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100.  The [broader] NASDAQ Composite is not so extreme, but since the whole NASDAQ is essentially Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG), Amazon.com (AMZN), Priceline (PCLN), and Baidu.com (BIDU), I don't think the computers care much about what else in the index.

What struck me by these charts was how QUICKLY so much damage was done in late January to mid February.  I remember when up to the last week of that selloff every stock but 4 I owned was stopped out as it broke support (in most cases, the 50 day moving average) and then in the flush down to fill gaps created in 2009 on the S&P 500, even those 4 broke support if only for a few days.

Of course since then, it's been non stop fun and joy.  As long as you drink Kool Aid and never sell a stock assuming the market can fall over 0.5%. 

And with that I bring you the broken record "We're overdue for a correction, even of the 3-5% variety". 

Nah, April Fool's! We're rallying straight through 2012 or S&P 2000 - whichever comes first!
