Financials were beaten down in 2011 and show signs of improvement in the long-run. As a sector it seems Financials are undervalued.

There is a lot of political risk here. The sector may outperform, but this potential reward does not outweigh the potential political risks. This is an easy case that is hard to debate against.

Housing will continue to be in a slump and government at all levels and all around the globe will be struggling to pay off debt. Any "growth" will probably be due to printing money to fight deflation. It will not be real growth. Consumers will continue to protect themselves by controlling their spending. All this adds up to a lower stock market. I expect financials to do worse than the overall market.

I think the Financial sector will outperform the S&P. It's been beaten down due to financial reform, but once the dust settles I see the stocks recovering nicely.

Finally, I picked up the courage, and bit the bullet.
Sold of my Citigroup(C) holdings which I bought back in Oct, 2008 when it was $19.20.
Sold it on 5th of January, 2010, when the price was at $3.43
The reason I bought Citigroup at that time was ...... ==> http://lionel.textmalaysia.com/swapping-citigroup-for-finance-sector-etf.html

Financials, while still risky at best, will bounce back in the long term.

US Economy needs financial services. It is a necessary function in any economy. So the inherent value of the right to provide these financial services to the US Economy has not changed.
Our GDP has not decreased 85% and thus the value of providing financial services to our economy has not decreased by 85%. Sure most of these firms should have been left to fail, and the "smart money" should have been allowed to take over the financial services function, but that did not happen. Our govt sent them a lifeline and they will be allowed to recovered. Some will fail, but the rest will only be stronger due to less competition.
