Seventy-six names scanned and not one acting right. That tells me more than any tip ever could. When the line of least resistance runs down, you do not hunt for heroes in a correction. I probe with nothing, I wait, and I let the market prove itself before I risk a dollar. Cash is a position, and today it is the only one worth holding.
