Ranking of the stocks in each sector is done via Weighted Alpha, which is a rating of growth patterns in a one-year period. The calculation is such that the most recent prices have a higher weighting in the calculation of the Alpha. The higher the weighted alpha, the larger the growth. A stock whose price has not changed in the period will have a small weighted alpha. A stock whose price has dropped over the year will have a negative weighted alpha.

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.
