For the past 15 years the market has of course had some significant ups and downs. What sector would have been the best place to have parked your money since the year 2000?

Out of Biotech, Telecoms, Financials, Chemicals, Oil Index, Oil Services, Retail, US Railroads, Tech Hardware, Healthcare, and Transports one would have gotten the following increases in money (note the increases are not in the order listed, I'll match sectors and returns later by end of lunch tomorrow):

1. +1,027%
2. +753%
3. +278%
4. +261%
5. +257%
6. +247%
7. +227%
8. +186%
9. +82%
10. +63%
11. -76%

Take some guesses as to which sector goes with which return. I was shocked when a guy in an investment/trading group I'm in posted a chart of the leader. I wouldn't have guessed it as first in several tries.
