I have no idea. You could check 'The Canadian Technician' on Stockcharts.

This cheapness is happening all over: I go to Publix supermarket all the time. I actually live at Publix supermarket, even though they are much more expensive than the almost adjacent Wal-Mart and other stores around.

I do that because of their superb customer service and store ambience, cleanliness, etc.

The other day I went in and was intending to purchase a salad mix to eat at work, you know, the ones that come in the plastic bags. They're about $3.99 at Publix. I asked the manager, who was standing nearby, for a freebie of one of those inexpensive platic containers they use to package their own salad mix to sell. The thing must cost, like, at the top, a whole 3 cents.

He started talking about his costs and how the salad was priced into the cost, and how he could sell me one, but not give me one, etc., etc. He was going on ad nauseum, even though I made it very clear I was intending to purchase a salad and that I often will ask for, and receive, a free cup of ice when I purchase a bottled drink from the refrigerator.

I was shocked and told him so. Publix is about 20 to 30% more expensive than every one else, and they know it, too. I shot off an email to customer service, with no reply, something else at which I was very surprised.

These experiences are clues that the cracks in the bull market are starting to show, much more than breadth, TED rate, yield cure and other things we look at all the time.
