Momentum in the Stock Market


I used a simple stock screener from Finviz.com to find stocks near 52-week Highs and 52-Week lows.

Sectors/Industries in the Highs list:
REITs: Real Estate Investment Trusts.  
Electric/Gas/Water Utilities.
Processed and Packaged Foods.
Restaurants.
Cigarettes.  
Big Cap Tech: FB, GOOGL, MSFT


Sectors/Industries in the Lows list:
Biotech.  
Foreign Regional Banks.
Independent Oil and Gas.
Industrial Metals and Minerals.
Small Cap Tech.
Oil/Gas Drilling/Exploration.
Oil and Gas Pipelines.
Railroads.

Food, water, shelter….Facebook and cigarettes are undeniably killing it.

Many biotech names are deflating, anything oil-related is hurting, and foreign currencies are slumping relative to the USD.

Will these trends continue? I cannot say, but the numbers don't lie, the trends are in.
