Thursday's Big Picture commented, "The market's distribution-day count is starting to improve. On Tuesday and again Thursday, a distribution day on the S&P 500 dropped off the count due to time, while the Nasdaq lost a stalling session on Wednesday due to time. This indicates that some institutional selling is starting to age out, offering investors another reason to be more confident."
