Momentum Monday – Oct. 21

Many expect equities to have a strong finish of the year, but which sectors are going to lead us there – the usual suspect like social media, China and biotech or other sectors will step up?

Howard (@howardlindzon) thinks that mega cap growth stocks are likely to outperform as underinvested fund managers hurry to put money back to work. He talks about his $35 sandwich/$35 smart phone investment thesis.

JC Parrets (@allstarcharts) explains why he is short the small caps ($IWM) for a trade and points out to the extremely high level of margin.

Joe Fahmy (@jfahmy) shares how he lost 30 pounds this year. He continues to be bullish on China and think that many new leaders might come from there over the next couple years.

I like semi-conductors and organic food stocks here and share a few names.
