In basics, buy drillers (WTI, PKD), steel & iron (ROCK, USAP, HAYN), and industrial metals. Auto parts (SMP, TWI) and processed & packaged goods are best in consumer goods. P&C insurers, regional banks, and S&Ls (NWBI, OCFC, DCOM, BRKL) are high scoring in financials. In healthcare, focus on specialized health (BEAT, USPH), medical instruments (UTMD, MMSI, ATRS), and medical appliances (WMGI, CNMD, CUTR, NXTM, ELOS). Heavy construction (MTRX, AEGN, GVA) and general building (HW, USLM) can be bought in industrials. Catalogs, trucking, and education (CECO, UTI) are strongest in services. Focus on semi ICs, semi equipment/materials (UTEK, OSIS, TSRA), and scientific & technical instruments (FARO, IIVI, PRCP) in technology.
