Here's a quote I was just reading this
morning from a presentation to be made here in Houston..... What
causes price movements?
Market 31%
Sector 49%
Stock 20%
The sector relative strength/rotation
strategy worked very successfully with mutual funds, say the Fidelity
Selects, in years past but I've not seen as much success with this
approach lately in Profunds sectors nor with stocks. If
fact a better strategy with Ultra Profunds is to take
the approach of buying the funds that are beaten down.

question for TC2000 users
That sounds logical, but consider.... In many cases,
(I've seen a bunch of 'em) there are situations where there are very
strong stock price up movements, in sectors where the overall price
movement is down. Lots of times, these are stocks that are VERY
strong.
I like the old saw.. rising tides,......lift all
boats.. but I'm not willing to overlook the
airplanes.
