High-Fliers Mask Broad Weakness

The stock market’s underlying weakness is being masked each day by the ability of DaBoyz to short-squeeze the bejeezus out of the lunatic stocks — i.e., the few companies, mostly Internet-based, that presumably can be counted on to make money even if America sinks into a Depression. Even so, it’s doubtful that the likes of AAPL, AMZN, GOOG, NFLX and PCLN can continue to hold back the bearish tide.
