UTILITIES AND CONSUMER STAPLES SECTORS SHUNNED IN 2012... The S&P Sector Market Carpet below shows average performance for the stocks in the nine sectors. The industrials sector is leading with an average gain of 3.0%. This means the average stock in the industrials sector is up 3% in the last seven trading days. The consumer discretionary, technology, finance and materials sectors are also showing good gains. These sectors with strongest gains have the greenest boxes. While six of the nine sectors show strength in 2012, the average stock is down in three of the nine sectors. Notice that the utilities and energy sectors are pink-red because the average stock is down 1.2%. The average stock in the consumer staples sector is also down (-.5% on average). There is a clear move away from two defensive sectors in 2012 (utilities and consumer staples). On the flip side, money is moving into the offensive sectors, such as finance, technology, consumer discretionary and industrials. The appetite for risk has been healthy so far in 2012
