The stock market indices that get all the headlines have failed to capture the brutal deterioration that has been occurring for months among the individual stock components of those indices.

In early February, Bank of America reported that 46% of Nasdaq's component companies were more than 50% below their 52-week highs. And the deterioration in breadth began long before February.

Sonders reported that the average stock decline in the Russell 3000 was a drop of 32% from its 52-week highs. Equally alarming, companies in the 10th decile within the Russell 3000 had experienced an average decline of nearly 70% from their 52-week high. ...
