Best Performing Market Sectors since 2000

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.

Consumer staples beats them all.

Consumer staples up 176% since 2000.

Thanks. They do however lead since 1960, but that's obviously close to irrelevant now.

The performances from the year 2000 to last Friday are below:
1. DJUSRR - +1,027%
2. Biotech - +753%
3. Chemicals - +278%
4. Oil Index - +261%
5. Oil Services - +257%
6. Retail - +247%
7. Transports - +227%
8. Healthcare - +186%
9. Financials - +82%
10. Tech Hardware - +63%
11. Telecom - -76%
This is a great example of the newest and "coolest" sector not necessarily being the best place to be investment wise. The US rail industry has been in business since ~1850's and was the best performer by over 250% from year 2000 to 2014.

The Buffett/pipeline issue wouldn't have cut into railroad numbers until ~2012 at the earliest when Keystone could have been complete. The first 12 years didn't have political help.

Does this account for dividend reinvestment?
Also, kind of an unfair comparison for Tech/Telecom considering it's "since 2000" which was the heyday of the Tech Bubble.
Interesting though, thanks for posting

Dividends are not considered. Just stock price of each company in the sector is considered in the sector value.

I'd be curious to see how much reinvested dividends change this list.
