Who is going to prevail? The Bears or the Bulls?

The industrials sector of the stock market is where I am most involved nowadays. While the big names like General Electric (NYSE: GE) and Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) may not jump out at you as big gainers, plenty of these rock-solid companies have been hit unfairly, and I see value. As an added bonus, industrials companies often act as a hedge to thriving markets like agriculture.

You've heard pitches on Apple (NYSE: AAPL) and Corning (NYSE: GLW), now lets continue on with the information technology sector. There are many places to invest around the sector. I am finding increasingly that the big boys like IBM, Microsoft & Google are providing more risk than reward. As investors, we want as high upside potential as possible when matched with low downside risk.

Despite recent turmoil in the IT sector for 2008, I contend that this is now where you want to be. Reasoning here follows that the financial sector is struggling to keep its bad news buried, the housing market is shambles and even retailers are struggling to sustain growth.
