Yes, it’s tricky both tactically and mentally to get long in the stock market right now. One look at the broader indexes would give any rookie market technician pause.

Even in the most vicious bear markets, there are often certain sectors that see gains.

With that in mind, today’s trade is one of those names that is thriving in this current market environment.
