    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?.
     
  2. Even if your thought process is correct, the election isn't until November, so this sector wouldn't be hit until then.
     
  3. That's their business. They'll probably get government contracts and checks for more business.
     
  4. 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.
