warrior2010: I probably would start with IBD if I didn't already know the best of breed in various sectors. IBD does a great job of ranking stocks according to relative strength, earnings growth, sector rankings, etc.
I do watch Fast Money and CNBC during the day, and do a lot of research online and get ideas from various sites, including message boards. The latter is how I found Petrobank Energy, which is a hidden gem.
IBD, Yahoo, Bigcharts.com, and other free or low cost sites and sources categories by sectors.
Of those sectors you mention, I only like semis right now. Unless you are considering short.
