The Nine (9) Major Sectors of the Economy
Sector Charts are at end, 10min and Daily Charts, side_by_side.
This theoretical model is based on
Sam Stovall's "S&P's Guide to Sector Rotation"
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0070522391/qid=966178673
and states that different sectors are stronger at different points in the economic cycle. The graph above shows these relationships and the order in which the various sectors should get a boost from the economy. The Market Cycle preceeds the Economic Cycle because investors try to anticipate economic effects. The PerfChart at the top of this page tries to help you see this effect.
