SD, i don't think there would be a gain. i may be wrong, but i do know that more S&P 500 stocks are down for the year than up. i'm pretty sure only very few of those that are down are tech co's.

Anyone know what the percentage gain on the sp500 would be year to date if all technology stocks were factored out?
Superdow, begin with the return on the S&P 500.
Then find out what percentage XLK is of SPY.
Once you know this percentage, and the XLK gain, and the S&P 500 gain, you can determine how much the non technical S&P 500 has lost this year.

On the matter of S&P 500 returns ex-tech.

The best gauge I know is the Vanguard Value Index Fund (VIVAX). Portfolio consists of the 383 stocks in the S&P 500 with the highest dividend yields and lowest price-to-book ratios. As of yesterday this fund was virtually unchanged for the year to date.
