XLB materials sector saw a nasty down day today despite the S&p500 closing positive.
Clear relative weakness is being observed.
One of the leading stocks in XLB : DD (Dupont) collapsed by 14% after issuing weak forward guidance ahead of their earnings.
If they're expecting softer demand from China you can almost count on contagion through the sector.
#DD 's #DUPONT Nemours company
Another #divdend payer that would have paid you immense sums of #money to hold for the long term.
Every portfolio should have 2/3 companies like this in it. imo.
