FYI: Below are two quick charts for Bespoke readers on this holiday-shortened trading day. The first shows the year-to-date performance of the S&P 500 Energy and Consumer Discretionary sectors, while the second shows the year-to-date performance of the S&P 1500 Oil Drillers and Airline groups. Take a look at the divergence seen recently in each of the charts. Regards, Ted http://www.bespokeinvest.com/thinkbig/2014/11/28/energys-pain-is-the-consumers-gain.html?printerFriendly=true
