From the Back Cover

Sector Stocks: What they are, how they can help build wealth, and which are best for building a high-growth, low-risk portfolio. Sector stocks and mutual funds focused on individual industries or areas routinely make front page news by doubling or even quadrupling the terms of the overall stock market. But how can investors know which sectors are primed to get hot? How can they get in before prices begin to soar? How to Be a Sector Investor gives you a well organized, in-depth look into the sector investing arena, along with valuable tips on where the experts are putting their own money. Learn how easy it is to build a high-performance portfolio in technology, real estate, emerging markets, and more as you're introduced to: Pathways for Do-It-Yourself Sector Investing--from no-load mutual funds to commission-free stock plans, plus commonsense tips to cut costs as you build wealth; examples of sector portfolios that are custom-tailored to fit your risk/return profile as they focus on areas that could enhance your overall returns; interviews with expert sector investors and top-rated mutual fund managers--revealing their secrets and their predictions for each sector's growth prospects.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, not great....., April 8, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Be a Sector Investor (Paperback)
If you're new to Industry Sectors and want to learn alot about each one then this book is excellent for you to start. If you already watch sectors and their rotations then there really isn't much new in the book. It is definitely well written and very easy to understand. If anything, it re-inforced concepts and strategies I had forgotten. I wish it had incorporated some analyzing from a Technical charting viewpoint. There was none at all. All in all, it is a very positive book covering the different sectors of the market. I found it to actually be very motivating to follow the markets more closely.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Guide for the Beginner and Intermediate Investor!, August 8, 2001
This review is from: How to Be a Sector Investor (Paperback)
As the authors clearly indicate in the preface, this book is geared toward the beginning and intermediate investor. Written in a clear and concise manner that avoids excessive jargon, the information educates the reader about investing in sectors while providing valuable insights and practical advice.

Divided into 12 chapters, the book focuses on the sectors of primary interest to the "average individual investor." Specifically, the sectors covered include: Technology, Financial, Healthcare, Real Estate, Utilities, Energy and Natural Resources, and International. Although investing in international stocks is generally not considered a "sector," the inclusion of the international arena as a sector provides a useful perspective on this area.

In addition to the valuable content, the authors have an engaging writing style that does not hinder the information presented by them. The book is actually entertaining and inspiring.

Overall, "How to be a Sector Investor" is an excellent book on investing in sectors. Having researched a number of other books in this area, this one far surpasses other resources.

1.0 out of 5 stars Only touches on sector investing, January 1, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Be a Sector Investor (Paperback)
There is nothing about timing or switching from one sector to another. Sector investing can be very volatile if you buy and hold. You need to know when to exit a sector and when to buy.
