Morningstar Sector Trends

It is said that markets top and bottom for that matter, sector by sector.  While strategy research is an ongoing project at the Prudent Trader, and elsewhere, you have to be happy with and utilize what you currently have and know, while working to attain something better.

One strategy I’ve mentioned before is to take our 3 currently active approaches and enter / exit markets in thirds.  In other words as one strategy turns bullish buy a 1/3 position.  Then a second third and a third third so-to-speak. Perhaps exit in the same manner – in thirds. Be that as it may let’s look at Morningstar’s 31 Sectors and apply the same logic.

Mostly bullish for now, but some cracks appearing.  If this is something of interest, perhaps we can make this a periodic post.

enjoy a wonderful and relaxing weekend!
