Today's winner list is an example of why this is not a stock pickers market but a sector allocation market or as I like to say "It's all the same stock" Below is a list of 73 winners returning 6% or more. Instead of highlighting the commodity or global growth stocks (which are almost all of them) I'll highlight the few non commodity/global growth stocks (a few banks of all things are strewn in).

So today, all the hedgies ran in/covered their shorts. This list is full of broken charts. What we want to see to "believe" is see them pass over resistance and show something other than an oversold bounce. Which is what some retailers have done say over the past 7 weeks. Otherwise they are just dead stocks walking enjoying an oversold bounce, no different than financials from November 2007 - July 2007

So you say buy Tesoro (TSO)? I say I already own it, its called Mosaic (MOS). You say I need some Vale (RIO)? I say, got it covered - hello look at my Foster Wheeler (FWLT). I need to buy a Brazilian steelmaker? Nah, Peruvian copper works just the same. Stupid to sell Atwood Oceanics (ATW), an oil driller? Nah - got it covered, it's called CF Industries (CF) now. There is no difference anymore - they all have the same story - so no need to own 20 when 4 will do nowadays. You see, to hedge funds moving in and out, it's all the same stock - it's just a video game now - the only difference among these are if you have to type 3 or 4 letters in during your buy or sell order.
