Word of the Day
Fiscal Stimulus
It refers to a government’s action to revive or boost the economy.
This is done by increasing government spending, such as investment in infrastructure and public services, or by lowering taxes so people and businesses have more money to spend.
The goal is to increase demand, create jobs, and support businesses during slow economic conditions.
Fiscal stimulus packages can be targeted at certain sectors or can be for the whole economy.
6 Day Course
Theme: sector rotation
Day 1: Monday
Any investor who has observed the markets for some time would have noticed how sectors behave.
Some sectors tend to do better during certain times. Other sectors do better during certain economic conditions.
Example: during extended bear markets, consumer staples sector and healthcare sector stocks tend to be more stable.
This is common and well observed.
Sector rotation is an investment strategy that aims to invest based on this rotation of sectors.
The aim is to invest more in stocks of sectors that would perform better during different periods. And sell off stocks from sectors that have finished performing well.
Obviously, this sounds a lot more simple than it is, but this is indeed the core idea.
In this week’s course, we will try to get more familiar with this strategy.
