With a gain of 3.72% year to date, the S&P 500 (SPY) has seemingly done pretty well. But unless you have been overweight the Energy sector, chances are you're underperforming. As shown below, the Energy sector is up 14.58% so far in 2011, which blows away the other nine sectors. Only two other sectors are outperforming the S&P 500 as a whole (Technology and Industrials), but they're outperforming by less than 4 basis points!
Coming into 2011, there was a lot of talk about this being a year where "stock picking" would be very important in order to achieve outperformance. Hopefully you picked Energy stocks!
