All of the sectors that began their Pre-Financial Crisis Final Bull Cycle push in 2006 are also the weakest, this year. You may recognize that technology (+7.6%) and materials (+8%) are outperforming the broad markets YTD and we have noted that their previous final runs were longer than other sectors. That said, they are still lagging the four sectors that all began their Pre-Financial Crisis Final Bull Cycle in 2007. Ironically, the same four sectors (transportation, utilities, health care, and energy) are the top-performing sectors YTD. The numbers donât lie.
