Thursday, August 2, 2012, 3:30 PM ETIf it's a healthy sign when small caps (IWM) lead large caps (SPY) during a rally, then the recent move higher should come with a warning.

But the small caps and the Financials tend to move first out of the gate to the upside and then conversely they also tend to show weakness to the downside before the rest of the broader market.

Greenspan and Bernanke have been the two worst "Central Planners" in the republic's history!
Add in Tax cheat Timmy and the communist antics of our commander and chief and it will be amazing if the REPUBLIC survives!
May the good lord watch over this fragile little experiment in freedom / mans self rule we lovingly call America,
God save the republic!
