Segate up almost 2, Maxtor up almost 1. What gives? From CBS MarketWatch column The leading stocks based on our quantitative work exhibit 20 different characteristics. But here are five of the most important criteria: 1) Strong recent earnings and revenue growth, 2) Companies selling at a discount to this growth (a 1999 price-to-earnings multiple less than this growth rate), 3) Companies where earnings estimates continue to be revised upwards, 4) Companies that consistently beat Wall Street's analysts earnings expectations, 5) Stock prices that are showing superior short- and long-term relative strength. Fortunately, we are still finding plenty of stocks still exhibiting leading characteristics. And a majority of them are in the technology sector. The top groups and leading stock symbols within these groups are listed below: Semiconductors MU ALTR KLAC SMTC Disk drives SEG HTCH QNTM Internet YHOO AOL LCOS Software VRTS CPWR Telecom WCOM TLAB QCOM Retail BBY GPS AEOS ANN Biotech BGEN IMNX GENZ Also: See Genzyme story. The Internet is one group among these that I have been scaling back
