Fred, There is a lot to be gained by choosing the "down and out" sectors, putting some money in them, and waiting. However, if one has the time to research the hot sectors, and to watch her/his investments daily, there is a lot to be said for "chasing the sectors", too. My portfolio is fairly well diversified, and I have been lucky enough to have had some companies in the "hot sectors" before they became hot. I don't currently hold any of the hot "internuts" though. Putting all of your money in one sector is almost as bad as putting it into one company, IMHO. To each their own, though. Have fun, and good luck, Phil

what i mean is, i try to do a little bit of research across all sectors, Energy just happens to be 'Hot' (good buys) right now, so i will buy into some more of those. But i won't put the house into Energy. Then i will see what sector drops next, and have something ready for that one, and so on. I don't chase ridiculous stocks like Chips and i-net MUCH (at least not the expensive ones), and i stay away from healthcare, but i like to watch energy, retails like Lowe's, car parts, SOME software, consumables like procter and gamble, etc. i probably know more about what i DON'T want rather than what i DO want.....
