Picking stocks in the Finance Sector or the Technology Sector?

Many Analysts Recommend: Buying Bank Stocks and Stocks in the Financial Sector

That’s because the Fed will raise interest rate four times this year, and three times next year. The Fed funds rate has been up from 0.75% of last year to current 2.0%, and will be up to 3.75% next year (2019). Based on the fundamental knowledge, if the interest rate is going up then bank’s revenue will be up too therefore it makes sense to buy bank stocks.
