What's Hot & What's Not?
Short-term plays
Experts tell us that
investing success is more about picking the right sectors than picking
the right stocks. Here are two lists. What's Hot shows you the hottest
market sectors, and What's Not, the coldest. The lists are based on the
past 12-weeks' market action, but emphasizing recent action.
Since these lists are
updated weekly, you won't have time to pick individual stocks. Instead,
use exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to ride these trends. The table shows a
sampling of ETFs appropriate for each hot sector.
Disclaimer: the
hot/cold data is based on recent historical returns. There is no
guarantee that these trends will continue into the future.
