Stocks: Would you sell oil and buy banks?

With the interest rate hike looming, is it a no brainer to sell COP and buy banks? Who is to say there won't be additional hikes either.
I feel like COP will be flat for a while, and banks will continue to have momentum.

Regions and Bancorpsouth are good buys

Yes. Dump oil and buy Banks. Bank of America is doing well

I think you have missed the banks. It has only been a couple months, but many are up substantially. I just don't know that if they go up very much more they won't be overvalued. You may have missed the boat, be careful.

You're 2-3 months late.

I'm in banks heavy for the next 2 years. The higher interest rates will legitimately help banks, but it's the deregulation that gets everyone all giddy..... But then the scamming will start and the collapse will happen. It always does. Some banks can't help themselves and they will bring the other banks down with them. I'll be out (hopefully) before the inevitable.
As for oil, it's a declining industry. They can keep subsidizing it and I'm sure they will...but technology can't be stopped. The strong oil companies will still thrive...those that have diversified into modern energy.
Look at AT&T. Its sole business 35 years ago is absolutely dead; not only that, they sold out of wireless 15 years ago...and they are still a giant (thanks to purchasing Cingular). Some oil companies will still be giants even after oil use is way diminished.

Just buy Amazon and google that's all you need for the coming 20 years

If you're still holding any type of oil stock in 2017, I strongly question your sanity

Chasing return is almost always a bad idea. You missed the boat. Why would you sell oil at its low and buy banks at its high?

Not sorry I shifted a good chunk out of COP the other day. Whew that was a close one.
