Doug Kass: Utilities Will Be The Best Performing Sector In 2010


Doug Kass expressed his market views for 2010 and he is expecting Utilities to be the best performing sector in the US stock market:

"Rate-sensitive stocks will outperform and metals will underperform. Utilities will be the best performing sector in the U.S. stock market in 2010; gold stocks will be the worst performing group, with consumer discretionary coming in as a close second."

Doug Kass is the general partner Seabreeze Partners Long/Short LP and Seabreeze Partners Long/Short Offshore LP. Until 1996, he was senior portfolio manager at Omega Advisors, a $6 billion investment partnership. Before that he was executive senior vice president and director of institutional equities of First Albany Corporation and JW Charles/CSG. He also was a General Partner of Glickenhaus & Co., and held various positions with Putnam Management and Kidder, Peabody. Kass received his bachelor's from Alfred University, and received a master's of business administration in finance from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School in 1972.
