Sector Tracking

I'm often asked how I keep track of sector movements and, in the past, I've offered many examples. But, one free way is to simply visit Google Finance which offers a convenient sector summary which appears at the bottom of the page:

What I like most about this offering is that if you click through the sectors, you'll be taken to separate pages specific to that industry. For example, if you click on "Basic Materials," you'll see not only a nice chart for that industry in comparison with the S&P 500, but you'll have convenient links to news in the sector as well as the top gainers, losers, most actives, etc. You can also dive down into subcategories.
