S&P 500 Performance - Week 19

May 14

Let’s look at how the best and worst performing S&P 500 stocks did this week:

VTRS finished on top. And, in terms of the worst performers:

TWTR was on the bottom.

OXY is in the lead on the year:

And, NFLX is the biggest loser:

This past week, only GOOG and JNJ saw positive performance:

For the year, it’s BRK-B in the lead (with JNJ close behind!!) and FB in last place:

Tomorrow we will look at asset class, index, and style performance for the week and year (so far).

Have a question you want to ask or a topic you’d like to see covered? Let me know!

Would be interesting to run a backtest for the following:

1) If you bought the top-10 losers of the S&P500 every year for the past 30 years, would you have outperformed the market?

2) If you instead bought puts on the top-10 gainers, would have outperformed it?

Basically check if these stats are meaningful for future investments.
