This rally is ALL tech.
While 76% of NASDAQ 100 members are above their 200 dma, less than 40% of S&P members are above their 200 dma. Tech is trying to lift up the index, other stocks aren't participating.
This has pushed the gap in breadth to an all-time high. Worrisome? pic.twitter.com/tqMtoc4boA

Great chart from @TheStalwart this morning.
"Permanent layoffs" piling up at a breakneck *pace* vs. '01 and '07, but the *total damage* is not as bad.

For Q2,’20, the U.S. dividend rate declined a massive $42.5B (Q1,’20 -$5.5B), worst Q since Q1,’09’s $43.8B, as major damage appears to be behind us (but more to come); full release at https://t.co/piYjqUyaSq pic.twitter.com/HvfkNkQcCs

People eagerly RT'ing the existential crisis in L/S HF article. I will reiterate my estimate that on a $ weighted basis, the industry is likely outperforming the S&P 500 by the most in any year post GFC. Ignore HFRI.
