The current pullback in stocks has people talking "crossroads" – decision time for the bulls and bears.
The current pullback is still small and not decisive by itself. But there are some hints that the sellers could take control of the market, and the sector landscape reflects that.
I mean, we're beginning to see some tectonic shifts that may be giving us a tip on where things are headed in March.
But overall, the "risk-on" sectors have remained strong performers through 2019. Sectors like biotech, semiconductors, and small caps continue to see strong scores from my Best in Breed system.
