I think the best way to figure this out is to first learn how to trade after you picked what you would like to trade. Once you have developed a trading strategy, and tested it in a demo account, you will be able to reverse engineer the answer. You want to make sure that no individual trade or...

Sector Risk does factor in correlation as stocks in a Sector tend to be highly correlated (it is possible to have stocks in different sectors that are also highly correlated). I however do not trade stocks any more, I trade Futures, Futures Options and Forex. My analysis is done using...
