Does anyone know of a way to scan industries?
I have asked around for about a month and no one knows of a way.
I am using stockcharts.
I want to scan all industries... after I find a industy I like from the scan... find a stock in that industry I like the chart on.
Thanks in advance

I use several pay services that give me top and bottom Industries and Sectors. My on line brokerage also gives me the same info. but in a less informative way.

Investors Business Daily and VectorVest, both of which I use, have that information in them. I am not saying you have to use them but they are quick sources for that type of information. Stockcharts also has the Market Summary section which has some of that in there. I pay for that also and I am not sure if hey offer that for free.

ETF's are a good source for scanning the Industry and Sectors.

I hope that helps.

Thanks Evil-eye.... I googled and found a couple sites that offer for free.... I don't know how often they update their information though. I did learn of eft's later and that does seem to work good also. I will check out the stockcharts suggestion you gave.
Thanks again

What kind of ideas are you thinking about with this approach?

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking??

Evil-Eye · #7 11-12-2008, 06:28 PM

Are you trading the top stocks in the top sectors? Worst stocks in the worst sectors? Something in between?

taterbug23 · #8 11-12-2008, 10:13 PM

well lets see....from the looks lately worst stocks that keep going down lol.... what I was trying to look for was find some sectors that made big % gain.....look through those sectors and find a sector chart I liked....then find a chart in that sector that has been in a downtrend & looked to be turning around......it still needs work thats for sure.....

What about yourself??
