In this environment, Stoltzfus prefers cyclical dividend payers over defensive dividend stocks. He's underweight utilities, telecom and energy.
"We moved to an underweight on energy from a market weight at the beginning of the year. Our concerns were and are the fundamentals wherein supply is generally plentiful," Stoltzfus said.
With utilities and telecom, Stoltzfus believes they are over-owned and are vulnerable when the market turns on pricy bond proxy defensive stocks.
Energy and telecom are higher during trading, while the utilities sector is lower.
