All Fall Down
Part of the mystique equity bulls have enjoyed for a few years now has not just been due to the abrupt, V-shaped rallies from some of the most historically bearish reactions to exogenous events (limit down in the futures to both Brexit and the Trump victories, for example), but also to the remarkable resilience and seemingly endless rotations...

More Signs of Rotation
Even within sectors, such as the steels and materials miners, mostly in the XME ETF, we are seeing signs of money circling around as opposed to fleeing equities outright.
