Stay Defense and Defensive
The stock market has been strong during its rebound wave since June 20, 2022, for the past two months. This rebound effort carried about 20% gains for Nasdaq and S&P 500. However, the rebound hit the long-term line, its 200 day-moving-average, as mentioned in the previous 08/17 article. We will use SPY 408 as a reference to determine if bulls can stop bleeding.
‘Stay Defense and Defensive’ could be a reasonable strategy in this type of market. Here, defense means defense industry. Defensive sectors include the following sectors: consumer staples, healthcare, REIT, and utilities.
- Defense: NOC, HII, GD
- Consumer Staples: CPB, K, HSY
- Healthcare: HUM, CI
- REIT: WPC
- Utility: AEE, DUK, WEC, CNP
