"Secular vs Cyclical"
                             
cont'd from page 1

......But, as I said, the whole market has been turned on its head.   All the stocks that I've described as this (Bull); man, you can see that they're this (Bear).  And, how about all those cyclical stocks (i.e.,
CAT  (CATERPILLAR INC), smokestack stocks) that I said were (Bear)?  Oh, man, you know where they are (Bull).

If you want to try to make money, you need to understand the new order of things.

Why is the happening?  First, you've got to understand:  this is not a rotation, all right?  This is not some musical chairs game.

When the economy heats up, money flows out of the secular stocks and into the cyclicals.  That's not what I'm talking about right here; that's a normal, natural thing.

What we're dealing with is fundamental to the very companies; it's not a sector rotation.  It's that consistent co.s are now inconsistent, and they're driving us nuts.  And the inconsistent ones are becoming rock solid!

See, CAT and DE (Bull for both) - they're not levered to the U.S. economy.  They're levered to BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China), and to every other developing country, whether it be in Central Europe or in Central Asia.

These countries - these developing countries - they're still in our 1920's.  They're still modernizing, and to do that they need heavy machinery.  They need steel - from the iron ore, to the stainless - that comes out of ATI  (ALLEGHENY TECH NEW) Yeah, stock of the year that I came to you with 100% ago...."
