Technology stocks helped investors survive the market plunge, and techs are likely to continue to help, according to Holland & Co.'s Mike Holland, but more is needed. "The thing can't keep going without the financials," he told CNBC.
How about manufacturing?
"If manufacturing became more important around the world, Asia would do very well. Manufacturing can't do well in the U.S., given the way we're set up now."
But more manufacturing in Asia would mean more business for U.S. financials, Holland said.
Recommendations:
"The healthy financials — if that's not an oxymoron — are the place you want to be," he said.
Yea, Mike Holland. That's rich. Wait, any minute now he'll say good companies with high dividends.
Simple. When there is a Crime Wave, loosen up on the too-big-to-fail Criminals. More Crime will stimulate the Economy which is failing because of the prior Crimes.

"...the western financial system has already failed. The failure has just not yet been realized, while the system remains confident that it is still alive." Jesse
They say the problem, in short, is not that the banks acted irresponsibly in creating financial instruments that blew up, or in making loans that could never be repaid. It is that someone is forcing them to fess up. If only the banks could pretend the assets were valuable, then the system would be safe.
Yes they monetized sub prime credit and much of it is noncollectable. You stole it though inflation and now put the economy into a depression as sub prime debt is demonetized. If only we could pretend bank credit was not our money supply and we used debt free treasuries instead to replace crappy exploitive bank credit money.
