Sector Spin – Mortgage Finance Stocks
By Terry Long November 19, 2020
Welcome to the Sector Spin with Terry. In this new video series, I’ll be sharing with you what I’m watching each week in various industry subgroups.
This week, I’m taking a look at stocks in the Mortgage Finance subgroup of the Financials Sector. With home mortgage rates at record lows, the sales of new mortgages as well as refinance mortgages has been a good business for many in this industry. Despite the Covid impact on the economy, consumers are buying new homes and refinancing at a record pace this year.
You can see from this Rotation (Animation) the rapid momentum rise that occurred in this industry group in early June. But across the summer, momentum waned but saw another resurgence in September and on into October, we saw many of these stock transition from the Improving Quadrant to the Leading Quadrant. By late October, many had established themselves clearly in the Leading quadrant; however, momentum decay is once again apparent.
In the most recent weeks, a few are indicating signs of a positive hook formation. Look at WD, EFC, and even LADR still over in the Improving Quadrant. Should this NE trend continue, I look to these stocks to reestablish themselves over the next several weeks as market outperformers

I must say, as a lot as I enjoyed reading what you had to say, I couldnt help but lose interest after a while. Its as if you had a excellent grasp to the topic matter, but you forgot to include your readers. Perhaps you should think about this from more than 1 angle. Or maybe you shouldnt generalise so significantly. Its better if you think about what others may have to say instead of just going for a gut reaction to the subject. Think about adjusting your own believed process and giving others who may read this the benefit of the doubt
