...One of my Canadian buddies (and top competitors) was nice enough to acknowledge that yesterday and throw in the towel on the “reflation and global growth is back – so buy the Industrials and Financials” call.

Cheers to that and the following YTD returns at the sub-sector level for classic #LateCycle S&P sectors:

  1. Energy Stocks (XLE) -8.1% YTD
  2. Industrials (XLI) -5.5% YTD
  3. Financials (XLF) -2.3% YTD
