If you'd like to find to what sector a certain stock belongs, all you have to do is use the following link, input the symbol at the right side of the page (sector finder) and - voila!!! http://www2.barchart.com/sectors.asp?base=industry p.s - check out their "100 leading" and "bottom 100" stocks lists. a lot of hidden gems there.

I tried Prophet for a few months a couple of years ago. I had totally forgotten about them. I'll have to check them out again. Thanks Corey. I tried Prophet for a few months a couple of years ago.

First of all, the sector analysis serves as a key filter that reduces the number of stocks you need to analyze. Second, it can put in in the place of highest relative strength against the broad market. Third, as you said, it cuts down analysis time. I use the scans at Prophet.net (Industry Group Strength) to find stocks both in leading industries/sectors and lagging, which can allow for a 'hedge' play. There are other sites, but I've just gotten used to Prophet. You’re right on regarding sector strength leading to greater odds of individual stock selection profitability.
