As evidenced by the wind energy sector and airline industry sector scans, when market sectors start moving, it is always convenient to have a scan readily available.  You can easily scan for potential (sympathy) plays by viewing the post below.

While Hurricane Gustav took hold of the Gulf Coast this weekend, there was plenty of ominous speculation on the affects the market would see on oil prices come Tuesday morning.  In fact, Gustav’s Labor Day weekend timing acted, in what many might consider, as a buffer for what could have been a potentially violent and volatile market.
While, the weakening storm is a welcome reprieve to residents of the Gulf Coast States, it is also a source of relief for the stock market but what about the sympathy plays such as TAYD?

Hurricane Gustav made an earlier-than-expected landfall just South of New Orleans this morning, but the city appears to have dodged a major catastrophe thanks to the storm’s diminished strength. Louisiana isn’t out of the woods yet, obviously, and we’ll continue to keep an eye on Gustav throughout the day, but initial reports are that it doesn’t appear the beleaguered city is in store for another Katrina-sized disaster (source: ftsnews.com)

During August and September, (considered by many to be the slowest time of year) being a trader can carry a higher risk-reward ratio than usual.  That being said, it always helps to have an edge.  This is a list… and although I’m not a fan of most of these stocks, (especially the OTCBB’s that take advantage of this time of year for a liquidation-fest) with products or services that stand to fill a need in a time of crisis such as a hurricane, they are worth having on your radar as the storm situation develops.

Of course, as with all stocks you still need a reason to invest, a reason to hold on, and in this case the sector may need just that, a “forward looking event.” Fortunately for the sector, it’s just received an “upgrade” much like JP Morgan or Goldman Sachs upgrading a AAPL or GOOG, Tropical Storm Hannah is just beginning to spool up and was upgraded to a Hurricane.

Listed below courtesy of an InvestorsHub board (with the addition of TAYD) is a list of all potential hurricane plays for this week and the remainder of the hurricane season. TAYD was a company I covered here as a stock of interest and it rose Friday another 12%. This stock is extremely low float and can move in both directions rather quickly.
