The past year has been characterized by a rotation among sectors; lockdown vs. opening.  Spending spree vs hoarding (case in point: toilet paper).

This is one of the seasons that the Options360 Concierge Trading Service added a bullish position in the Russel 2000 (IWM). if rates start rising, banks will begin lending, which in turn, will spur economic growth among smaller, more cyclical stocks.

It’s not too late to get in on this trade!
