Hi,

Once again a quote from http://beta.dailygraphs.com/tutorials/b04a.asp =
- -->

"Here's a case where herd mentality works to your advantage. Studies =
show=20
37% of a stock's move is directly tied to the performance of the =
industry=20
the stock is in. Another 12% is due to strength in its overall sector."

I put a file to http://WallStreet-LLC.com/pub/IGfiles.zip, which shows =
the=20
correlation in an example. I found hundreds of them and still find them=20
every day. Basically you can take the chart patterns and apply them to=20
industry groups and you will find very strong and dependable trends =
where=20
false breakouts take place, but much less then with individual stocks.

Here and example on the short side:

Here an example for an IG that sets up a bull market for its members:

http://WallStreet-LLC.com/pub/BullmarketforBuilders.zip

Important is: Price and RS need to make new highs (lows for shorting) =
our=20
of a base for a buy signal. For the long side I like IGs that cross RS =
of=20
60 to 70.
On the short side crossing RS of 30.

But it can be also very profitable to get into trends that are well=20
established, e.g. where the RS is above 90, but then be sure that you =
wait=20
for a second price and RS base and a second Breakout to get in and be =
rigid=20
if the group shows sell signals.

Best Regards

Andreas





And this is perfectly canslim, because Oneil states that if you go with =
a=20
breakout, look if other stocks out of the group have or had a breakout =
as=20
well ...
