    Thanks but I'm going to try and stay away from any subjective analysis and keep it very strict and clear from a rules based point of view.

    I've thought about it and I think a 25%/5 stock max and a 5%/1 stock min from any one sector is a good idea.

    The sectors are:
    BASIC MATERIALS
    CAPITAL GOODS
    CONGLOMERATES
    CONSUMER (CYC & NON-CYC)
    ENERGY
    FINANCIAL
    HEALTHCARE
    SERVICES
    TECHNOLOGY
    TRANSPORT
    UTILITIES
