Barclays is blaming retail investors for December sell off. Retail has pulled $102 billion out of the market YTD, while institutions have added $76 billion. Basically they said the mom and pops out there are emotionally selling this past month. Holiday sales are up more than they've been in 5 years (partly why you see XRT up so much today). Data and economy is still strong (I'm paraphrasing here).

Damn I needed this today.

My big boy stock up over 12%

My long term stock up over 7.%

And my big risk stock up over 25%

All of smaller holdings were green too.

Hopefully this bloodbath is over.

This sounds and look fishy.


Seems to me trump made a few calls but this cant sustain in this manner. The true market will show in a few days after new years.
