"Bottom line: We entered the year bullish on Tech, and have been rewarded with relative outperformance compared to the broader market. Year to date, the CSTI Index is up 17.5%, nearly 1000 bps ahead of the S&P 500, which is up 7.6% for the year." You gotta wonder about a "major investment house" that doesn't include dividends in how a major average does.... The S&P500 was up 9.05% YTD with dividends. personal.vanguard.com Still, they did well with large cap tech... and they probably avoided our stocks which have been lagging this year. It bothers me to see short term results for highly volatile things get such attention. Are they up since 2000 or are they down since then? The QQQQ, the Nasdaq100 index, was up about 20% YTD.. yet that is still way, way down since 2000...
