Indeed diversification is an absolute must for successful investors that do not have inside knowledge. Do not think only diversification across industries, think also across georgraphies.
Gasoline: FTO and VLO
Natural Gas: CHK
Energy: COP, DVN, APA, NBR, ADM, VWSYF.PK, NFS, UP
Money: MET, BAC, CSE
Geography: TDF--China, IIF--India, SWZ--Switzerland,
Think also different sectors of the market ie large cap vs small cap vs mid cap vs value stocks vs growth stocks, etc.
FUND and PENNX small caps.

Not knowing how you're currently invested, it would be kind of a tough call for anyone to make a good solid suggestion on how to diversify. Truthfully, I think you're chasing prior performance with gas and energy, but I'm just one opinion. I think the stronger areas might be brokerage and health care.
Remember, when you have a truly diversified portfolio, watch not only your sectors, but also your diversity between large, mid-cap and small cap stocks, and also your portfolio should include some international stocks, too. And even though it's painful to do this right now, don't forget to have some bond exposure in your portfolio as well.
Have fun!

The finance and banking sectors are good right now b/c interest rates are being pressured to go lower.
Energy is a good play now through winter, especially if the dems win the mid-term elections.
The best bond fund on earth is RMH. It pays monthly dividends and has returned 14-17% per year for 3 years (including special December dividend). This is a high-yield bond fund so there is more risk involved then normal bond funds. If you can buy around $18 then do it.

This sounds strange but water.
At least here in Texas.. there are many companies buying water and privatizing it. There are actually oilmen who are buying land with aquifers underneath it.
Maybe invest in some sort of company that has military contracts.
Or you may even want to buy currency depending on how a country's future is developing or if the dollar dropped relative to theirs... you'd make a good return once you cashed it in back to dollars.

80 million Americans will have tuned 65 in the next 11 years. Just think what they might want.
