6 Month Charts of Various Industries and Sectors versus the $VIX and Some Other Indicators:

























Gold and Gold Stocks are seen as a hedge against inflation and are often used in a flight to safety when uncertainty hits the stock market. They generally trade in an inverse fashion to the US Dollar but not always. In addition in a bear market even gold stocks sell off. Finally gold prices also are subject to long term secular trends that can result in both years of out performance and even decades of under performance.















In a healthy stock market advance I really like to see small caps outperforming large cap stocks. These charts should be helpful in determining if the market is advancing.




Healthcare stocks are often seen not just as safe investments offering dividend growth over time but also an excellent place to get potential increased returns on investment.



Are Healthcare Stocks Outperforming the S&P 500? This chart will show you how.





Consumer Staples tend to outperform late in a bull market or at times when continued growth in earnings for the rest of the stock market are uncertain.



Investors tend to chase Utilities higher when dividend yield is attractive as opposed to slow growth for earnings in the S&P 500 overall.



Consumer discretionary stocks tend to outperform when it is anticipated that the economy is really humming along.



Hope anyone who looks at these charts finds something helpful in them. They will update each day that the market trades. Keep in mind that whatever relationships you see here are not always cause and effect. Markets can both stay overbought and oversold for much more time than anyone would think.
