☆ 'Halftime Report' traders like financials, see sector doing well even in a recession

As investors position their portfolios for the year ahead, one sector is a standout pick for the investment panel on CNBC's "Halftime Report" : financials. "In every recession, there's one sector, whose balance sheet is most negatively affected by the recession. Gilman Hill Asset Management CEO Jenny Harrington named financial stocks as her top 2023 sector pick, saying the sector is undervalued after reviewing its price/earnings to growth ratio, or PEG ratio. The financials sector in the S & P 500 was down by 12% in 2022, still outperforming the broader market index despite the drop. Here is the full 2023 stock picks from the group: Karen Firestone: Charles Schwab, Align Technology, American Tower; Sector Pick: Financials Jenny Harrington: Kohl's, Uber, B & G Foods; Sector Pick: Financials Jim Lebenthal: Boeing, Cleveland-Cliffs, Paramount Global; Sector Pick: Industrials

Seriously, this is not where I thought we would be: The 3,800 level on the S & P 500 at the end of December 2022. If you listen to pundits, almost all are in dour agreement about a poor 2023 market . The table below shows all the years since 1960 when the S & P 500 fell at least 10%. In six of the 10 years following a 10% decline, the average increase in the S & P 500 was 17.5%. The S & P 500 index is down 20% for the year, the equal-weighted S & P 500 is off by about 13%, multiples have compressed, and sentiment is highly negative – that's bullish.

☆ 'It's possible the market can rally': Financial advisors say a recession isn't inevitable

Ascentxmedia | E+ | Getty ImagesThe CEOs of some of the biggest American companies believe the economy may be heading for a recession. Yet financial advisors warn against too much certainty, or pessimism, over what's next. That's because investors try to get ahead of what's coming and price those expectations into stocks, Firestone said. "The market always anticipates slowdowns and recoveries," she said, adding that people inevitably resume their buying when they believe stocks are sufficiently discounted. "And so yes," she said, "I think it's possible that the market can rally."

☆ Investor Kari Firestone: Here's why this comeback rally feels different

While the S & P 500 rose 11% during two weeks in March and 18% from mid-June to mid-August, investors bailed out and tripped the prior lows for the year. It wasn't obvious that Americans still had huge amounts of buying power that would continue to drive price levels higher. One definition might be when there is a fundamental shift in some critical measurements of the most negative weights pressuring stock prices. The S & P soared 5.5% that day, and the Nasdaq vaulted over 7%. This rally is different, even if it moves sideways or falters for a while because its genesis is based on real facts and figures.

☆ Stocks are being punished more harshly for missing Wall Street’s expectations. What the numbers show

Even the unfortunate roughly 5.3% decline for the S & P 500 in the third quarter belied the 12.8% cratering of equities between Sept. 12 and Sept. 30. October has followed the script, with all the major indices ahead for the month, led by the Dow Jones Industrial Average up nearly 14% and the S & P 500 ahead by about 8%. These stocks imploded about 13% and more than 30%, respectively, in the five days after the companies posted their results. Very little beyond that can move the needle for the S & P 500, but the current quarter has taught us something about market sentiment. Many stocks are oversold, but investors have extremely limited tolerance for disappointing expectations.
