Dividing stocks into broad sectors such as :

Energy
Financials
Consumer Durables
Consumer Staples
Industrial Cyclicals
Services
Retail
Health
Technology

it should be obvious that "Technology" has outperformed all of the other sectors over the last 5 years or so. Now, that is an almost sure indication that some other sector (and maybe more than a few sectors) will outperform the technology sector during the next 5 years. Seems to happen all the time, over and over.

Also if you consider another broad classification of investments along the lines of :

US Large Stocks
US Small Stocks
US Bonds
Foreign Large Stocks
Foreign Small Stocks
Foreign Bonds

the outperformer in any 5-year period (the normal duration of a business cycle) has been found to significantly underperform the others in the next 5-year period. Seems to happen all the time, over and over!
