Hi everyone,

This is my first post on here and I am curious to see if anyone knows of a software or website where you could look up the specific industry (and also see how the industry has been performing) that any stock may belong to.

I think the Dow Jones has many indexes for specific industries but I am not really sure which tool i can use to see all the stocks that are contained within these specific industries.

Why do i need this? Well, this is because if I were to search for a stock to buy in a bull market I would want to find the strongest performing industry and then pick a stock from there. I want the most comprehensive industry list though because I want to make sure

The best website I know where I could do this is bigcharts.com. My only problem with that website is that the charting for the industries is fairly limited and scanning through all the stocks within an industry is pretty cumbersome.

If anyone can suggest a website/software which would help me out I would really appriciate it.
 
Wow those links are actually very helpful. I shall research them further, Thank you!
