No rotation today.

On Friday the sector model flipped to XLK.

Congress is trying to create another self-imposed government disaster. The President is doubling down on his. The week is uncertain, at best.

An “ideal” stock selection tells us a little, though. If the model were to pick ten today, 30% of them would be in utilities:
JOY COAL
SWM TOBACCO
SRE UTILWEST
WPO NWSPAPER
PPL UTILEAST
MHK FURNITUR
BCR MEDICINV
NSP HUMAN
ROVI ENTTECH
MGEE UTILCENT


The best ranked stock of all is JOY – in the coal industry.

Granted, it SHOULD be time for that Santa Claus rally. But we might get a lump of coal.

JOY to the world…
