Vital Signs: Actionable charts

Groups that typically need long-term financing have fared the worst since the pullback in early February. (Housing, Auto related groups, Rec vehicles, Furniture) We would like to see these areas stabilize as we believe the move up in rates has affected investors' views in those areas of the Market.

• Despite higher interest rates, the Utilities and REIT's may provide trading opportunities until the market settles down.

• Two weeks ago we highlighted Facebook as breaking down in our Short Shots. We believe this may affect the other FANG names as well.
