    Current Industry Model

    Here are my current industry ratings. Unfortunately, the current list does not diversify me much. I might look at trucking, shoes, coal, restaurants, or specialty retail, but nothing much grabs me on the list. Most industries don’t feel trashed at this point.

    When I find my model to be thin in what it is offering me, I sometimes run another model that looks at bad relative price performance by industry. If I’m still uninspired at the next portfolio reshaping, due for late June (or so), I’ll run that model to see if it gives me any fresh ideas.

      How do you come up with your industry rankings and exactly what do they mean?

    2. David Merkel Says:

      I wrote about that topic in this post. Have a look, and if that doesn’t explain it, ask me again.
