Is This Really Defensive Rotation??

September 13, 2019

In this Episode of Allstarcharts Weekly, Steve and I talk about the fact that the only sectors making both weekly and monthly all-time highs are Consumer Staples, Utilities and REITs. That's not exactly the type of leadership one might expect to see in a strong bull market, leading many to believe that it is not, and therefore we should be selling stocks. My argument is that while on paper, yes, technically those ARE the only ones making new "weekly AND monthly" all-time highs, sectors like Technology, Consumer Discretionary and Communication (heavily weighted $FB & $GOOG) are just a stone's throw away from doing the same. These are all far from "Defensive" sectors. I think the positive rotation continues and these sectors play catch-up.
