TOP PICK
Feb 12, 2016
The seasonality is positive right around the 3rd week of January through until May of each year. On a technical basis, the US industrial sector has already bottomed and is starting to outperform the market. If you think about it, a good part of the industrials consists of transportation companies, and transportation companies are going to benefit significantly from lower fuel costs which will boost their earnings going forward. That whole sector is really starting to come on stream.
(A Top Pick Feb 12/16. Up 4.04%.)(Recommended 2 weeks ago that profits should be taken.) Industrial stocks have a period of seasonal strength from January 2 right around the end of April. The time to take profits will probably be sometime in the next couple of weeks.
