Today we have a bullish divergence for RUT, changing its status to mild bearish. Small caps have lagged in recent months and are now trying to catch up.
This continues the back and forth between large and small caps, and between different sectors, that has been going for a while. Not a very healthy behavior. Traders are chasing quick returns, then fleeing into the next stock or sector that goes up for a few days. And the net result is a market that has gone nowhere for months.

Stock positions:

NFLX was closed at a 3.5% gain and has been moved to the completed trades list.
Remaining positions: EFX, ODFL and BMRN are doing OK; OC and BAC are still under water and need to be monitored more closely.
