Here’s a look at the annual performance of the various sectors in the S&P 500 going back to 2009 using the State Street sector ETFs:




quote:

It’s surprising the consumer discretionary sector (XLY) is the best performer. I was sure it would be the tech sector (XLK). But this makes more sense when you consider Amazon makes up more than 20% of XLY




quote:

Energy stocks are down by more than 20% while the S&P 500 is up nearly 80% in total.1




quote:

Beaten down sectors don’t always offer a fat pitch. Financials were the worst performers from 2007-2008 by a wide margin




quote:

Picking the right sector requires more than simply picking the best sector. You can be the best stock-picker in the world but if you choose the wrong sector you’re out of luck.

Or you could pick the best sectors but if you choose the wrong geography then you’re out of luck.

Or you could pick the best geography to be in but if you choose the wrong asset class then you’re out of luck.

Key Takeaway: Don’t pick individual stocks, sectors, asset class, or geography. Buy the whole market for the best returns.

So you're saying I should diversify?

Typical. First they tell you to diversify then before you know it they're telling you not to time the market.

The Dow Jones Rail Road Index (DJUSRR) is up 797% over the last 10.5 years. That's right, old school, boring railroads have outperformed Tech over the last 10 years.

Industrials and consumer discretionary have never been on the bottom.

Here’s my takeaway,
Put 80% into sp500 and 20% in either consumer discretionary or industrials and you’ll beat the market

Based on the chart, it looks like a good strategy.


You disagree?
