Time to invest in blue-chip stocks

"In times of increasing market volatility, one would expect money to flow into those companies best able to: 1) protect their revenue and earnings streams; 2) self-fund operations; 3) pay a competitive dividend yield; and, of course, 4) avoid financial distress. But this year I really haven't seen that flight to quality."

  • Mr. Market richly rewards those companies satisfying his desires (Alphabet, Amazon) but severely punishes those disappointing him (Walmart, IBM).

    For the past 30 days the three best performing categories, according to Morningstar, are Large Cap Growth followed by Large Cap Blend with Large Cap Value coming in third. So it seems there has been a performance rotation to the large cap categories. In addition, from review of the Spider Sector ETF's, the three best performing sector ETF's, for the past thirty days, have been materials, energy and technology.

    Currently, about seventy five percent of my equities are in large caps along with about twenty five percent being invested in the three best performing sectors for the past thirty days.
