Here’s a file of my current Industry Ranks. Remember, they can be used two ways. Value buyers like me look for strong companies in the green zone, thinking that industries mean-revert. Growth/momentum buyers should look at companies in the red zone, because in the short run, industry momentum persists.

Disclaimer: David Merkel is an investment professional, and like every investment professional, he makes mistakes. David encourages you to do your own independent "due diligence" on any idea that he talks about, because he could be wrong. Nothing written here, or in my writings at RealMoney is an invitation to buy or sell any particular security; at most, David is handing out educated guesses as to what the markets may do. David is fond of saying, "The markets always find a new way to make a fool out of you," and so he encourages caution in investing. Risk control wins the game in the long run, not bold moves. Additionally, David may occasionally write about accounting, actuarial, insurance, and tax topics, but nothing written here or on RealMoney is meant to be formal "advice" in those areas. Consult a reputable professional in those areas to get personal, tailored advice that meets the specialized needs that David can have no knowledge of.The Aleph Blog is proudly powered by WordPress

I have been searching for and reading various blogs hoping to find suitable ones to link to in my blog. I especially have come to like yours. I was wondering if you would like to exchange links.

Interesting industry ranks. What is the system that you use to get these industry ranks? I ask because I’m a little confused as to how heavy construction ends at the very bottom in this environment. Great blog, enjoy reading it!
