Logistic Regression Research: 97% Concordance, No Sig Variables

I am doing an independent research project and I have written a logistic regression program in SAS. The percent concordance is 97%, but hardly any variables are significant. Can anyone help me understand why this would happen?

There are many possible reasons for this. Would you be able to describe the situation in more detail?
If all of the significance is in only a few variables, then you will not have many significant variables.
Otherwise, you may have some dependence issues, and the program can't determine which variables are better than others.
I would try reducing the model, and then applying some stepwise regression techniques to find the most significant factors.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
