http://www.stockcharts.com has some excellent point and figure charting
features including bullish percents for a variety of sectors.  Dorsey
Wright is a great site for PnF also.  Tom Dorsey also has a book in its
second edition that is worth reading as well on PnF.  

http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/industry/bigcharts-com/  Is pretty good
for sector research.  It breaks it down into 10 main sectors and then
breaks those into the Dow Jones industry groups there are over 100 of
them within the industry groups you can rank the stocks based upon their
performance over the past 1 week, 1 month, 2,3, and 6 months, and 1,2,
and 3 year periods.  So basically they let you screen for RS.  Overall a
pretty good site tool.

http://www.stockcharts.com also has some good sector tools.  One of my
favorite things on that site is the perfcharts.  They let you compare a
bunch of symbols against each other over a lot of different time frames.
They also have a lot of canned perfcharts with sectors, indexes, and
intermarket analysis.  I think stockcharts is probably the best free
charting site on the web.  http://www.prophetfinance.com is also really
good offering a lot of tools.

If you already have a data provider like QP2 etc. then
http://www.pfscan.com is a nice inexpensive but very useful PnF as well
as candlestick charting program letting you do a lot of PnF work.  Its
only $100 and Dave Baker the developer is a helpful guy very responsive.

Good Luck,
David Taggart

Subject: [CANSLIM] sector identification

All,

I have been starting to do some sector analysis, and was wondering if
someone could point me to a website that would allow me to figure out
what
sector a particular company belongs in, and more importantly, if there
is
an index within that sector that the stock belongs to.

I am interested in point and figure charting for a sector, and am
working
backwards, ie using CANSLIM to identify a good company, but then wanting
to
use P&F sector charting to see the sector strength.

Any ideas?

Have a nice weekend

Mike
