For a fast education on industry sectors I suggest going to AMEX.COM.
They have a section on S&P sector funds and they show a listing of the
companies that make up each sector.


ALSO > Thanks to everyone who contributes to the Bivio thread. This area
seems to be contributed to by serious investors who really care about
investment club issues.

Here is a list that was part of an article covering the
outlook of different sectors. It is by no means
comprehensive, but does come in around your 20-25 number
range. It was part of an article on realmoney.com, a
subscription site, otherwise I'd paste a link to the
article.

Automobiles
Beverages and Food Products
