What are you doing now

The stock market rally still looks healthy. Market breadth improved, though, on Tuesday.

There are some stocks flashing buy signals, but investors may simply want to hold steady while major indexes and some leading stocks consolidate. If they haven’t already, investors could take some profits in extended stocks after November’s big gains. But it depends on exposure and concentration levels as well as your personal investment style.
