I don't know that I agree with you on this, Katherine. In the past 4 =
decades or so, the best markets I have seen were all led by some form of =
technology stocks, with financial stocks as the secondary support during =
corrections and taking over brief leadership. Maybe that's my "rose =
tinted glasses" thinking, because of my personal bias towards tech =
stocks, certainly nothing I have tried to scientifically quantify. But =
it is the area where I see the greatest potential for rapid earnings and =
sales growth, and that certainly will remain as the primary driving =
force in the markets.

Some very sound and astute minds in this group, yours included, were =
pointing out some months ago why homebuilders were turning into a bubble =
that was likely to burst. Some have, and I even exited the last of mine =
a while ago, content with the profits I had. But the best continue to =
outperform everything because of their growth in both sales and =
earnings. Regardless of the industry, earnings and sales growth will =
rule the markets, and I see techs as offering the best opportunities for =
that.

Woa there, Tom....I don't think anybody is "discounting tech =
stocks"..... that would be nuts. My personal point of view is that the =
time of "all tech all the time" is past us. New winners will of course =
include tech, it's just that there are going to be far more industries =
and business types represented in the next push than we saw in the late =
'90's when, if it wasn't tech, it didn't go up.

  Fred, this group seems to be pretty universally discounting tech =
stocks as
  "yesteryears winners", and I am going to disagree.

  yes, I think the CSCO, ERICY, LU, MSFT, INTC, and so forth will take =
years
  before they become attractive from a CANSLIM perspective, if they ever =
do
  that. They will still attract lots of institutional dollars (including =
our
  mutual fund dollars, unfortunately). But the tech sector includes new =
names
  every day, and some of them will be the future CSCO that we will be
  discussing here in two or three years. Those are the ones that I am =
trying
  to find now, and as I find them, find a point to buy them and make =
money off
  them. If I can hold the best for a few years, all the better.

  I will still look at other sectors, but personally feel the top =
returns are
  still going to come from tech stocks, just names most of us have never =
heard
  of before, just like Cisco before it became so well known.

  True. But, techs were yesteryears winners. This years? How bout =

  To play the devil's advocate (spelled IBD):

  It has since 9/11.

  > 2. We must be only buying stocks with strongly rising revenues and =
EPS
  True in any market.

  True. But, techs were yesteryears winners. This years? How bout =
Gaming,
  Homebuilders, consumer, finance, medical, retail, etc...Though  I =
considered
  them cyclical, they led this "hidden" rally. (I missed them all...)

  > 4. The indexes are made up of '3'
  Techs led the last big bull. The indexes are far more watered down, =
hence
  the rise since last year.

  > 5. 'M' is defined as '4', the indexes
  See 1.

  Of course I know it's not that cut and dried. WON says the new leaders =
won't
  be the ones from the last rally. That explains the lack of techs and =
the
  rise in the "boring" stocks mentioned above. One of the big problems I =
had
  was not committing to these new leaders because they looked like
  non-exciting areas to me. Boy was I wrong! I'm still watching =
Homebuilders
  speed forward thinking they must run out of steam soon.
