Sector Rotation

Sector Rotation - if you get it right you can beat the broader markets

In 2001 - 2002 the Financial stocks powered upward as the Technology stocks torpedoed.

Now in 2007 - 2008 the Financial stocks torpedo as the Material stocks power upward.

The ratio chart below clearly displays the buy-materials and sell-financial signal of late 2006

When the reversal comes we want to be there -

Best guess - April 2008
