SICK sector rotations to defensive stocks for US stock market!I posted so much less stock ideas this quarter as generally I like to long stock that I'm willing to invest, and look for bullish set-ups.
While even I'm still bullish in so many names, but there aren't so many bullish set-ups in this market.
Wait a minute, defensive stocks are big exceptions and perfect choice for bottom-up strategy recently, and it's more than reasonable!
KO
PG
MCD
YUM
COST
and other classic defensive names like VZ, JNJ, MRK, PEP all showed great relative strength than the market!
(T is the lagger though)
That is, P/E ratio for tech stocks encounters huge corrections and the money come out of them just ran into these defensive stocks.
U.S stock market is still the top choice as there aren't many better alternatives.
While, investors tend to turn money into defensive stocks to fight for fluctuations.
In conclusion, it's still far from a financial crisis and it's still not too late to look for long opportunities in this sector!
Let's see how it goes!

Here another nice chart for you.Markets are patterned. It is just that sometime, well maybe most of the time, patterns are not that clear but when they are you have to jump at them and ride along.
MCD is one of them. Just sprinting out of a contracting triangle label wave 4 of the impulse wave that started at the low of August 2015. Since the end of wave E, MCD has unfolded in beautiful impulse waves. Just a wonder to watch. 182 might temporary stop current advance but we see higher level.
Keep it mind that triangle are preceding the last wave of a move. Thus, once current advance is over, get ready for a substantial decline.
Symmetrical Triangle with higher lows.Mcdonalds seems to be forming a nice symmetrical triangle continuation pattern. As symmetrical triangles can also indicate reversals, it is important to maintain a watchful eye for a breakout. Buy or short upon breakout in either direction. Until a breakout occurs I am on the sideline.
