I recently did the same thing with some of my Yahoo portfolios. I now have one with boxmakers, one for semis and one for oil drillers. If nothing else, it's a good way to take the pulse of that sector on a given day. They definitely move in a herd. I should probably spend some more time this weekend reorganizing my other lists by sector. Glad to hear that's how the pros go about it.

Steve, Very informative post on sectors, and I see you have 11 sectors and then etc.How many sectors do you follow regularly??, do you remove or replace sectors if they're in a trading range or flat at the moment, and how many, say the top 6 or 8 companies per sector?? This sector discussion might bring back our friend Don Green, remember his 70/20/10 theory. Thanks Buzzy

Hi Steve, Recently I took a position in the penny stock...BAAT (My first penny stock BTW.), I'm sure you have heard about the stock because of recent movement. My question is: On Thursday the stock took off from 2.06 to 3.25, then dropped down to a low of about .62 before rebounding to 1.75...was this action just profit taking followed by panic selling or did market makers manipulate the action. Sounds like a perfect tool for learning... Thanks Mark
