A Year of Rotating Industry Groups

This past year has given investors quite a ride. In January the Dow had a dismal 10-day trading period marking one of its worst starts in history. The markets fought to recover and by mid-summer brought us some IPOs with sizable winning moves. It was a choppy fall until November's election surprise. After which, a move to new highs as the year ended was miraculous.

In fact, all the indexes reported yearly gains.

? Nasdaq was up 7.5% ? S&P 500 gained 9.5% ? Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied 13.4% ? New York Composite added 9%

Despite different flashpoints throughout the year, there were tradable rallies that could be identified using sector rotation. In the first quarter, investors sought safety in gold and mining stocks. While short-lived, IPOs showed strength in the middle of the year. Then construction and financial stocks helped drive markets to new highs. These rapid changes in leading industries required investors to commit to ongoing research on the chart, in the fundamentals, and in industry group trends.

A post-analysis of these areas in your portfolio is equally important. My goal for MarketSmith's annual Top Stocks book is to provide you with a playbook to learn from the most important data points of the past year. Top Stocks 2016 highlights 63 stocks with charts and articles to illustrate the journey a winning stock travels prior to its breakout ? the reward for studious investors.

New to Top Stocks 2016 is the "Year-In-Review" news chart published by Investors Business Daily. The illustration highlights key news occurrences with an overlay of the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. While data is the determining factor for buying and selling stocks, seeing market reaction or inaction to global events can be enlightening.

There are numerous opportunities in the market every year to capture winning stocks. Reviewing past decisions and the "ones that got away" will only sharpen your skills for future markets, so embrace their analysis. Have a winning and profitable 2017!
