Healthcare has been The Worst Performer across the board this year over concerns about what a new administration might mean for healthcare...
info_outlineMarkets will likely bounce this week. We've had declining momentum which triggered a sell signal, which is still in place. The upside for any rally will be limited, but when it occurs, use that opportunity to trim risk from portfolios.
