FCSP500revgro(qtrly)<\/a><\/p>\n The Thomson Reuters data can help investors identify – from a top-down perspective – which sectors they may want to be overweight.<\/p>\n Our best call the last two years, was turning bullish on financials <\/a>in the 3rd – 4th quarter in 2012, and then turning more cautious in late 2013, early 2014<\/a>.<\/p>\n Financials have had a tough 2014 so far. The lack of liquidity and slow action in the bond markets has hurt the traditional banking \/ trading firms in q2 ’14 and the HFT issue hit the exchanges, not to mention the low VIX and low volume. I thought the exchanges would be a place to hide within Financials this year.<\/p>\n Technology has been a pleasant surprise in ’14. Apple and Intel sure helped. (long AAPL, INTC).<\/p>\n Here was a blog post from earlier in 2014 <\/a>on revenue growth, and then an update from\u00a0last week\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Today’s blog update provides even further detail, and we will\u00a0keep the sector info updated for readers.<\/p>\n The Fed may not really get anxious until we see a return to high-single-digit revenue growth in the SP 500.<\/p>\n The fact is SP 500 revenue and earnings remain pretty subdued, and we are seeing just modest p.e expansion in the index itself.<\/p>\n Trinity Asset Management, Inc. by:<\/p>\n Brian Gilmartin, CFA<\/p>\n Portfolio manager<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Finally got motivated and put this spreadsheet together on recent sector revenue trends within the SP 500: FCSP500revgro(qtrly) The Thomson…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,114],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sp-500","category-sp-500-revenue-growth"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fundamentalis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fundamentalis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fundamentalis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fundamentalis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fundamentalis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3883"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/fundamentalis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3883\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3889,"href":"https:\/\/fundamentalis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3883\/revisions\/3889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fundamentalis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fundamentalis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fundamentalis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
