Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
Author's thesis: Correlations among different sectors of the market have been falling, which should produce a better environment for stock-pickers.
In May, the average correlation of the 10 S&P 500 large-cap sectors to the index itself was just 70.6%, the second-lowest level since October 2009, according to Mr. Colas’s calculations. That’s down from 79% in the prior month, 85% three months ago and the 95% levels that consistently occurred during the middle of 2011, when Europe’s debt crisis and U.S. political turmoil roiled markets.
