Annual Scary and Sweet Stock Market Report

Mostly to prove that there is no use trying to time the markets or predict the next “hot” sector (and because I like the title), here again are the scariest and sweetest sectors of the stock market so far in 2024.

Sweetest sectors year to date as of 09/16/2024. 

Think it’s Tech?  Think again!

Utilities                                    + 17.5%

Retail                                       +14.6%

Healthcare                              +13.8%

Financial                                  +13.7%

Scariest…

Conglomerates                       -3.85%

Consumer non-cyclical           -.77%

Transportation                        + 1.99%
