Re: Investor confidence in equities rises: report

In the U.S. Corporate Insider Selling is at an extreme high much like last July with sales to buys at 8 to 1 recently. In early Oct at the market lows it was about the opposite of that. Not a good sign going forward. Seasonals for Feb historically are the 2nd worst month of the year as well. One must enjoy the ride up but have an exit strategy solidly in place for 'when' this market falls out of bed, not if. With Option expiration this Friday I don't expect the market to sell off much until next week as all those Put Option buyers must be trashed 1st or the big boys that sold them wont get to keep all the money they made selling them. So I expect the market to trade sideways to slightly down through Friday to do the most damage to both the put buyers and call buyers. Can't have the market rally much here either as while that will trash the majority of put buyers a big rally would allow many call buyers to make money. Sideways to down will trash the majority of put AND call buyers. And that's just the way it has to be.
