No obvious sector to buy? So try an unconventional way: 7 stocks from different sectors with upside potential of up to 26%

So, what to do if you cannot pick a sector to buy into? Forget about themes and waves, and go looking directly for individual businesses that are strong. In a market with no clear leadership, the winners will not all come from one sector. They will be scattered, one strong company here, another there, across different parts of the market. But this raises a hard question. If you are not using a sector as your guide, how do you find these strong individual businesses? What do you look for? This is where an unconventional approach helps.
