This lesson will teach you how to create your main equities watchlist, separated into major sectors and the major ETFs that fall within them. You can go even more in-depth by identifying the top 5, or top 10 companies under each sector, alongside the major ETFs.

This is the list that you will use for swing trading and day trading, however, in this lesson Irek also explains how you can go even deeper by creating industry-specific lists for yourself. Also note, there are many industries within the markets, so this list can be built based on your preference and the various industries you’re interested in (i.e. clean energy, aerospace, etc).

Below you will find the 11 major sectors and the top ETFs that fall into each sector. However, we suggest that you learn how to create this list yourself based on the information and knowledge gained from this lesson.
