Here is a brief review of period-over-period change in short interest in the June 1-15 period in nine S&P 500 sectors.

Despite early intraday record highs in Dow and S&P futures, they ended practically unchanged as VIX was notably divergent.

Looking for the bellwether of the U.S. economy? Think consumer goods stocks.

For most of 2013, discretionary sectors were leading defensive sectors (ratio was rising in 2013).

Rather than a red flag, it's a logical move of the market anticipating that the Feds will raise rates.

It is kind of ironic that the day after the country shows its distaste for the inequality in this country (i.e. the 'positive' data not trickling down to the average Joe), US equities hit an all-time high and close near highs.
