Industry trends usually continue for several months, so MSN's list of the past month's 10 Best and 10 Worst Performing Industries should give you some investment ideas. But, be sure to wait until a sector is on a Point & Figure "buy signal" before purchasing (and the market is above the 200 DMA ).

According to Benjamin F. King in his “The Latent Statistical Structure of Securities Price Changes,” 50% of a stock’s price movement can be attributed to the overall movement in the market, 30% to the movement in its sector and only 20% on its own. So, if you must pick individual stocks, use fundamental analysis for stock selection and technical analysis for the timing of purchasing or selling. Do not ignore market risk, however.
