Lodging (H, WYN, MAR, HOT) is the best scoring large cap industry. Drug stores (RAD, CVS, WAG, OCR) remain top scoring exiting flu season. Generic launches through 2015 support margin. Reform remains positive for foot traffic. Semi ICs  (TSM, SWKS, MRVL, BRCM) are strong in keeping with seasonality. Aerospace/defense (TDG, GD, BEAV, RTN, NOC, LMT, HON) offers growth on rising production rates.  Own ahead of summer air show order season.  Railroads (CSX, UNP, NSC) round out the top industry ranking this week.


  

In large cap basics, buy ag chemicals (CF, DD, AGU), major chemicals (EMN, SHW, FMC), and drillers (CLR, HP, RIG). In consumer goods, buy cigarettes (LO, RAI), auto parts (BWA, LEA, ALV), and major food (ADM). The top financials groups are REITs (PSA, FRT, SPG, SLG, ESS, BXP), money centers (PNC, WFC, KEY, JPM), and credit services (MCO, DFS, EFX).  Every healthcare industry scores above average, led by medical appliances (STJ, ISRG, EW), biotechnology (ILMN, BIIB, SGEN, GILD), and healthcare plans (WLP, AET, HUM). In industrials, buy aerospace/defense, diversified machinery (FLS, XYL, PLL), and industrial equipment (PNR).  In services, concentrate on lodging, drug stores, railroads, and department stores (M, KSS). Focus on semi ICs, semi-specialized (MCHP, NVDA, XLNX), communication equipment (GLW, HRS, QCOM), and scientific & technical instruments (WAT, MTD) in technology.
