The largest money managers have privately compiled and used component data on indexes and ETFs for years, but it remains a relatively new technical analysis tool for most market professionals and individual investors. Fact is, component data is hard to come by. To our knowledge, the only place to obtain and download current and historical datafiles is right here.
Some of the best and most widely used market indicators are based upon component data such as advancing-declining issues, advancing-declining volume and other component statistics (see blue table above). Because the data was previously only available for entire marketplaces, marketplace indicators such as the McClellan Oscillator and TRIN could only be applied to an entire marketplace like the NYSE. The New York Stock Exchange, however, has grown considerably over the years and includes many issues and derivatives besides "pure" stocks. Many believe this distorts marketplace indicators.
Why not apply the McClellan Oscillator and Summation Index, TRIN, Arms Index, Open Arms Index, and the numerous other well seasoned composite indicators to a defined market of known stocks, such as the S&P 500 Index? Or perhaps your aim is even more specific. Apply these indicators to one of the many Exchange Traded Funds such as the Semiconductor HOLDRS (SMH) containing 20 component issues.
By analyzing the components of these more defined market segments, a great deal of insight is gained about the direction, breadth, momentum, strengths and weaknesses of the specific investment area of current interest to you. Sector comparisons are at your fingertips.
