Hey Duke, This is a hard question to answer because it depends on your investment strategy.It is a good question and I may have to defer this one to Tom. There are some who only buy the premier stock in a sector upon a reversal up from below the 30% level. Examples: Oil - CHV Oilsrv - SLB Semi - Intel Comp - IBM Forest and Paper - IP Precious Metals - ABX This does not mean there aren't others that will perform just as well. My charts show PHM as a finance stock and BF as an aerospace. Using the P&F, you would follow the sector that has the stock listed in its residence. Next time I chat with Tom I'll ask him about it. Oh, Intel....looks great. Banks are still above the 50% level.

An answer for you Duke, from the man himself. If you can find enough pure plays in a sector, why not. You don't need 12,500 stocks to select from. So you miss a Pulte homes, you pick up a stock that does just as well. A broker I am interviewing for my second book only deals with Value Line Rated 1 or 2 and then only those stocks that have had a 20% growth rate over 5 years and has a 70% or less PE of that growth rate. He then creates his inventory and then applies the point & figure, sector rotation etc. He knocks the cover off the ball year after year. T I can't wait for his next book...
