While the stock market sees a big, broad rally Thursday, the Arms Indexes suggest investors are buying in a very calm and collected manner. The Arms is a volume-weighted breadth measure that is used to depict the intensity of buying and selling in advancing and declining stocks, by comparing the ratio of advancing stocks to declining stocks to the ratio of advancing volume to declining volume.
