A bulk of a stock’s move is due to the underlying sector/industry; a rising tide can lift all boats. Keeping track of the best performing sectors/industries and the stocks within the sectors/industries is a great way to narrow down the stock universe to the strongest stocks in the currently favored industries.
Knowing the top 20 sectors is a starting point, what you want to do next is narrow down stocks within the sectors to a manageable list. You can narrow down the list in many different ways; market cap, price per share, earnings/revenue growth, etc. I like to narrow down the list by creating a scan that shows me the stocks that are not extended based on how far they are away from their respective 20-day moving average. This particular scan will only show me the stocks that are within 3% of their 20-day moving average.
