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.

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.

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.
