"We do think that some of the measures that have been put in place are going to be positive," Goerz said of the current, top-down, environment.  "In that kind of world, where we think that cyclical growth will be accelerating, we want to think about being invested in more cyclically-oriented sectors."

Recommendations:

Goerz's list includes Home Depot, Alcoa, Boeing, Intel, and Intersil.

"These are sectors where you're going to see accelerating earnings," he told CNBC.
