Changes In Sector Performance

It's time again to look over Prophet.net's performance grid.

What are significant changes over the past three months? Bulllish improvements can been seen in the oil & gas sector, basic materials, marketing, homebuilding, internet, tobacco, auto parts, medical practitioners, and business software & services. (Wasn't it interesting to see the big sell-off in energy yesterday after the turn in the calendar?) Meanwhile, negative trend reversals were evident in electronic stores, catalog/mail order, semiconductors, home furnishing, discount stores, biotech, wholesale materials, publishing, entertainment, apparel stores, and software.

The most loved sectors? Well, they are processing systems, life insurance, oil & gas, mining, airlines, railroads, communication, grocery stores, basic materials, property management, and lodging. Unloved areas are aluminum, computer based systems, electronic stores, long-term care facilities, office supplies, education & training services, and trucking. Value hunters should be concentrating their efforts in these unloved areas headed into the new year.
