good sectors energy utilities basic materials non cyclical neutral or dont know services tecnology transportation conglomerates semiconductors capital goods bad sectors financials cyclical health care If youre thinking why i think that healthcare is a bad sector the reason is that if one of the universal healthcare guys wins the election that sector its going to be screwed. I really dont know because i am fairly new to the markets. Any opinions on which sectors are good , bad or neutral and for how much time and why?.
Even if your thought process is correct, the election isn't until November, so this sector wouldn't be hit until then.
Good bad or neutral is meaningless without taking into the consideration of the economic cycle and whether you are looking into cyclical versus defensive sectors. For example, nost tech stocks are great in a booming cycle but deadweight for the most part if we are in a bad economy and recession.
