What is the most attractive sector? That's one of the questions we asked a group of professional investors in our Market Forecast Project. The answer varied from person to person, but there was a general consensus. The majority was in favor of Technology, which pulled away by far with 41 of a possible 98 first place votes. Survey participants were asked to rank a list of sectors from 1-11 in order of how attractive they found that sector to be over the next 12 months. Technology ranked highest with an average ranking of 2.7, well ahead of the rest; Basic Material placed second with an average rank of 4.8. We've put together a list below of both attractive and unattractive companies within the Technology sector. It may be worthwhile to take a closer look at the companies listed. If the insight provided by the survey’s investment professionals holds true, you could be among those who outperform the market.
