Thank's Paul - I generally have not focused on sector themes but on individual stock themes when I look at unique value propositions. However, with your "sector" approach, you may obtain a better chance of hitting a home run especially if you buy into a sector that is at a multi-year low. One good example of a sector that you had good success with is the home builders. By buying into several companies in a beaten down sector, you are able to diversify out any specific stock risk. Then as the sector comes into favor again, all stocks in the sector rise. I have also noticed that many times the weak companies in the sector usually get bought out or consolidate with the stronger and larger companies. EKS
