Oppenheimer's Technician Is Buying Growth Over Value, And Tech Over Financials

Oppenheimer believes that investors should be long U.S. large cap stocks, but come choices are much better than others.

Despite a strong start to 2016 for value stocks, analyst Ari Wald is sticking to his call that growth is the place to be.
“One of our long-standing views has been that the S&P 500 is in a secular bull market and large-cap Tech is likely to lead this advance, and to pick Value over Growth could be viewed as inconsistent to this stance,” Wald explains.
