How do you define the sector of a particular stock?
Main Street Stock Investor uses GICS, but there seems to be multiple methods.

For example, CVX is in the Energy sector of GICS, but yahoo financial shows it's sector as Basic Materials.

Huh

What is the most often used method of classifying the sector or industry of a stock?
