In this week's edition of Chartwise Women, Erin and Mary Ellen bring in a football theme, as it is likely time to start playing defense in your portfolio. Erin reviews sector rotation and where the markets are currently. Both share their favorite "defensive plays" and discussed what they believe will be "touchdown stocks." Go for the win in your portfolio regardless of market direction.
