[OEXCHAOS]

This is interrim numbers from Cramer's site, but I thought that they might be of interest. The formatting will be horrible, so apologies for that. Basically, the first colume is the sector, the second is a graphic, the third is the %Bullish or %Bearish and the last is the number of votes.

Here are the questions and the results.

Which of these sectors do you think is set to move up in the coming week? Aerospace and Defense 4.65% 105 votes
Airlines 2.12% 48 votes
Automobiles 0.79% 18 votes
Beverages and Food Products 1.81% 41 votes
Biotechnology 5.31% 120 votes
Commercial Banks 2.21% 50 votes
Computers and Peripherals 6.55% 148 votes

Energy Equipment & Services 15.19% 343 votes
HMOs and Hospitals 0.62% 14 votes
Homebuilding 1.77% 40 votes
Insurance 0.62% 14 votes
Integrated Oil 13.2% 298 votes
Internet, Software Services 7.26% 164 votes
Investment Bankers and Brokers 3.05% 69 votes Media 1.01% 23 votes

I think that I've "fixed" the formatting... M

[rkd80]

It appears that they are voting very 'offensively' and with great confidence in the economy. Interesting table, albeit not surprising if this is off Cramer's site.

[youmast]

The best sectors are those... with less votes on both sides. For example Cramer's gurus are not interested in tobaco, and have a look how beautiful MO chart is... Nobody votes for retails, and I like RL uptrend. Or how about no participans in foods? Tyson (TSN) is hot like a hot-dog.

[Rogerdodger]

I met Mrs. Tyson once.
She smelled like a chicken. A rich chicken.

They announced a deal to turn chicken fat into fuel with Tulsa's Syntroleum corp. and sell it to the DOD!
If "Fat is the new crude," then I just hit a gusher!

SYNM looks worse than VLNC!

HI Mark Very interesting list.The obvious question is " how to use it? " Do you propose to use it as a contrary indicator ? Buy those sectors that have the largest % negative votes and sell those that have the largest number of up or buy votes ? Incidentally Stock Trader`s Almanac 2007 contains Sector Index Seasonality Strategy Calendar which has similar data. Pali

It was more of an FYI thing, but I though it interesting and since I was looking at it, I thought I'd share it.

In general, I think I'd watch for persistent Bearishness or Bullishness in various sectors. Also, as youmast advised, a total lack of interest either way could be a marker for potential values.
