"Almost every sector is beating the market YTD. It sure doesn't feel like it."

If your investments aren't booming, you might be overweight in Tech and Discretionary? I have a total of 18% in those sectors combined, concentrated in AMZN, MSFT, AAPL, and NVDA. I've been talking about this for a couple months now, as I haven't been finding decent risk-adjusted values in the sector. Figure I'll hang on to my favorites but look elsewhere for the other 82% of my funds.

The problem being Info Tech makes up 31% of S&P and it was down .70% as of this morning. Consumer Disc also not a help only up 1.16% and makes up 11%. Therefore you have S&P underperforming many sectors.
Gives credence to owning individual stocks and sector ETFs, providing you pick the right ones. Also momentum investing.
