DESCRIPTION:

Date updated:11-17-2007

Portfolio based on shifting investor sentiment. Such as:
1. Fear of missing a big gain vs. fear of not limiting losses.
2. Confidence as it inspires perseverance. (Applicable to both shorts and longs).
3. Psychological valuations as equal to historical pricing, current consensus, and future projections.

The two sectors currently in favor are Healthcare and Consumer Staples for their defensive characteristics. The first grouping of stocks fit these sectors. Obviously, large cap has been more in favor than small cap, but I included a number of small caps that could have important near term catalysts.

This next group of stocks fall in the clearly "out of favor" sector categories. However, they would most likely benefit from the momentum of two ideas. One, that a rate cut will occur at next fed meeting, and two, that recession fears are overblown. MA also benefits from being in the sweet spot of portfolio "window dressing". Current out of favor sectors are Consumer Discretionary, Ind. Cyclicals, and Financials.
