After a pretty solid week and a good start to this week from the bulls, let’s see what industries have been leading the way over the past month. Below is the top ten and bottom ten industries and their performance over the past month. On the bullish side, commodities are tearing it up with Gold, Copper, and Silver leading the way. Besides commodities, heath-care realted fields are taking up another three spots – It should be interesting to see in the coming days, how the markets react to psycho-path Pelosi passing the socialist healthcare bill and the Senate’s attempt to ram it down the throats of Americans pass it through for President Carter Obama to sign it into law. Stocks like United Healthcare (UNH) could be in for some problems as a result.

On the bottom of the totem pole you have some more health-care related fields, as well as retail, which is surprising considering Christmas is right around the corner, and the financial sector – which tends to be a guage on the overall health of the markets.
