The January effect, retirement inflows and seasonal good vibes helped us forget the long bear market, at least for a while. But two weeks into the year, reality intervened in the form of an impending war, and down we went. There wasn't much time for the average investor to get excited about the 2003 market and its prospects. The good news is that several sectors are proving to be outperfomers as we tick toward war. These quiet leaders aren't the market segments you'd expect to find at the top of the list in dangerous times. In fact, the defense and precious metals groups have taken a beating in recent weeks. I look at sector performance a little differently from the way most folks do. Rather than using percentage gains or relative strength, I focus on sectors that trade well above their 200-day moving averages. This enables me to uncover emerging groups that are waking up from long downturns, while retaining leaders that outperform year after year. The top five sectors this month contain a few surprises. Specifically, three technology-related groups made the cut. But this shouldn't be that surprising when you think about it. The tech-heavy Nasdaq has outperformed the blue-chips handily since the beginning of the year. And last week tech mutual funds had their biggest weekly net inflow since April 2002. Internet information providers top the sector list. I've been pounding the table on this awakening group for months now. While it's easy to concentrate on the Internet's big names, bullish charts are emerging on many smaller survivors. For example, Infospace (INSP:Nasdaq - news - commentary - research - analysis) completed a nine-month cup-and-handle base last week. Buyers have shown unusual enthusiasm since the company's September reverse stock spilt. The chart looks very bullish, and this stock could take a fast run to $20 once it breaks resistance over $12.
