In synch with my obsession du jour... :-)
For whatever it may be worth, mining is the current #1 sector, but mining(gold/silver) is the current #4 industry group, and falling I believe (don't take that to the bank, I'm still learning...:-) ).
Current #1 industry group is machinery(automation).
All of this courtesy of my 5 week trial of VectorVest.
Enjoy!
