It's all about tails on this edition of StockCharts TV's Sector Spotlight. For the last Tuesday of the month, I examine the seasonal patterns for sectors and compare them to the current rotations on Relative Rotation Graphs. Five sectors are worth a further investigation based on their historical performance in May; these are Materials, Communication Services, Financials, Real Estate and Health Care.

This video was originally broadcast on April 27th, 2021.Click anywhere on the Sector Spotlight logo above to view on our dedicated Sector Spotlight page, or click this link to watch on YouTube. You can also check out the video on the new StockCharts TV on-demand website stockchartstv.com, or on the associated app on mobile platforms like iOS and Android, or TV platforms like Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and Chromecast.

Sector Spotlight airs weekly on Tuesdays at 10:30-11:00am ET. Past episodes can be found here.
