By now you’ve heard about how uneven yesterday’s rally in the market was.  While the S&P 500 was up nearly 1%, the majority of stocks in the index were actually down on the day.  The chart of sector performance for the day sums things up pretty well. Consumer Discretionary (pretty much entirely the result of Amazon) was up over 3%, Technology tacked on over 2.5%, and Communication Services rallied over 1.25%.  Every other sector, though, was down on the day.  Not only were they down, but they were down sharply.  In fact, four sectors were down over 1% even though the S&P 500 rallied 0.84%.  Depending on the sectors you’re overweight in, yesterday was either really good or really bad.
