Now that the year is over for stocks, we updated this chart that we did last year that shows the percent of stocks in the S&P 500 that were down for the year, the % that were down more than their sector, the average change of all stocks in the index, and the average change of down stocks.  This year is unique in that there was a higher number of stocks that underperformed their sectors than in previous years, even though the average stock was up 13.37%.  This implies that the larger stocks in the sectors were the ones outperforming.
