 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.
