The major averages are in or near a correction in January, raising concerns that the bull market is over.

But Rob Lutts, president and chief investment officer at Cabot Wealth Management believes any correction of 3 to 5 percent is a buying opportunity.

"The public has not participated in the last 6 year bull market. The stock market continues to climb 'wall of worry.' Path of least resistance is still up," Lutts said.

Despite this bullish view, Lutts is avoiding three sectors right now: utilities, materials and telecommunications.

"Electric utilities will be challenged by alternative energy [and] slowing global growth is weighing on materials," Lutts said.

As for telecom, Lutts sees stiff competition from disruptive technologies.

Utilities and telecom are higher during trading, while materials is lower.
