NOTES TO SELF

 Two methods to improve the results:

1) Combine smaller portfolios that make sense to combine - for example retail trade could be paired with consumer non-durables.  I will continue Y-6 with the portfolios as planned however, and then evaluate which ones could or should be combined.

2) Combine small groups together.  For example, if one group only has one or two companies, move it to a higher or lower group.

Combined portfolio Candidates:

- Producer Mfg & Process Industries.

Its relatively small size (a small mid-cap) coupled with its industry (renewable energy) further weight the odds that this company could be a strong performer in the future. If you want in on renewable energy, we recommend NextEra. The Analysis Overview I created a portfolio of stocks in the alternative energy sector, looking specifically for companies with a market cap over $1B but less than $4B.  This is a sweet spot that offers strong potential for growth but is also substantial enough not to be too speculative. It's my believe that alternative energy is on the ascendance, where as fossil fuels will inevitably decline (NextEra isn't a pure play in this regard however, natural gas assets are part of its portfolio).  If you share this belief and you want exposure to this ma
