Failing that, I will happily tell you what I regard as the best / worst sectors but, then again, my criteria for assessing them may well be different from yours!
FWIW . . .
I have a crude points system which puts each sector into one of five categories with a maximum score of +/- 20;
1. Strong buy > +10
2. Weak buy > +4
3. Mixed / neutral < +3 but > -3
4. Weak sell < -4
5. Strong sell < -10
The appraisal for the week ending 01/12/06 throws up the following results:
The market as a whole scores +8 putting it in the 'weak buy' category, with 9 sectors in the 'strong buy' category, which represents an increase of 3 sectors from last week's analysis. Those sectors are:-
Score +12 - Fixed Line Telecomm's, Household Goods, Industrial Transportation.
Score +11 - Personal Goods, Travel & Leisure
Score +10 - Chemicals, Industrial Metals, Oil Equip' Services & Distribution, Tobacco
I've only 'eyeballed' the stocks within each sector to pick out the ones which look strong:-
Fixed Line Telecomm's: BT
Household Goods: BWY, BKG, BVS, CRST, PSN, WLB
Industrial Transportation: FPT
Personal Goods: BRBY
Travel & Leisure: BAY, CPG, EZJ, ETI, GOG, GNK, MAB, PUB, RTN, JDW, WTB, WOLV
Chemicals: CRDA
Industrial Metals: CS.
Oil Equip' Services & Distribution: HTG
Tobacco: IMT
HTH (Not an epic code :cheesy: )
