Market Performance

Technology Sector ($XLK) which had been the leading sector all year long, began giving up their leadership in the last two weeks. There were distinct signals left by the institutions leading me to conclude that they were harvesting their profits from the leading chip stocks and taking positions in the Financial Sector (XLF) and Consumer Discretionary Sector (XLY). As a Growth Stock investor, it makes sense to be invested in only the leading stocks in the leading sector. That is my formula for profiting in the market by Out Performing the Market, as measured by the performance of $SPY - an index of measurement of the performance of the general market.

Performance of the 3 major indexes and the 9 Major Sectors of the market last week are highlighted below:

$QQQ ... +0.14% (Technology market index of 100 companies except Financials)
$SPY ... +0.40% (General market Index of 500 large US companies)
$DJI ... +0.40% (Dow 30 index of 30 mature companies)
$XLV ... -0.35% (Health Care Sector)
$XLE ... -0.57% (Energy Sector)
$XLU ... -0.96% (Utilities dividend paying Sector)
$XLK ... +0.14% (Technology Sector)
$XLB ... +0.61% (Materials Sector)
$XLY ... +0.66% (Consumer Discretionary Sector)
$XLP ... +0.71% (Consumer Staples Sector)
$XLI ... +1.47% (Industrial Sector)
$XLF ... +1.56% (Financial Sector)
