Let us look at some charts

Utilities and Energy are showing strong uptrend

Whereas Financial looks like downtrend rebound

So folks, before you do your selection, do check out the charts first. Analysis reports and performance charts may look attractive but still the charts tell the best stories.

You may also like to look at consumer

I prefer uptrending charts like XLE, XLU or XLY. All these have crossed above the 200 day MA.
XLF, XLB, XLI have a strong rebound but still below the 200 day MA.
My take is the chart that has moved high and above 200 DMA will move higher at a quicker pace compared to those charts that are downtrend rebound and still not reached the 200 DMA yet.

The charts tell which are the best performers.
