Great post and great thread. I noted that TLC avoids biotech because it is too tricky to understand...and yet that is just the sector of the market to which I have become the most interested. But would you folks on the this thread say that it is possible to correctly identify specific sectors as being undervalued--it's a lot easier to find the hot sector, but the next hot sector, tricky. Any thoughts about the usefulness of IBD's sectors, or Value Line? I spent a couple hundred hours doing what I consider to be "due diligence"--in trying to find the most undervalued sector last year. I know this is a little off topic, talking sectors instead of individual stocks, but what does the thread think about this? It is easy to point to a sector like the internets, which are overcapitilized and overvalued. Finding the hiddens sectors, and later, the hidden gems in that sector is a real trick.
