FYI; Below we show the 40 best performers in the S&P 500 for the year of 2015 so far. With the only a few trading days left in the year, the winners are for the most part decided, and the list is a diverse one. Consumer-oriented tech tops the list; Netflix, Amazon, Activision, and Nvidia are all keyed to either online shopping or some kind of consumer video content. But don’t sleep on cable; CVC returned over 50%. Solar stocks have gotten hit by all manner of factors, but First Solar (FSLR) still managed to get into the top 11, while Valero (VLO) may be surprising next down the list given its sector (Energy). But strong product demand and favorable margin trends for most of the year helped the refiner outperform.
