FYI: Time is ticking for 2019 with just 23 trading days left until the New Year. Performance has been strong this year with just about every sector seeing double-digit gains with Technology (XLK) being the strongest performer; having risen better than 40% YTD as shown below. While tech has stood out with its outperformance, two other sectors have lagged a bit this year. Energy (XLE) is perhaps the most notable underperformer but Health Care (XLV) is the second worst-performing sector in 2019. But more recently, this is by no means the case.
