Sure, tech stocks have gotten pummeled in 2026. But there\u2019s more to life (and portfolios!) than tech. Seven out of 11 S&P 500 Index <\/strong>(^SPX<\/a>) sector ETFs were showing positive returns as of last Thursday \u2013 demonstrating the benefits of digging a bit deeper as an investor.<\/p>\n

Take a look at my MoneyShow Table of the Day<\/strong>. Yes, technology is bringing up the rear this year, down 5.7%. But energy is a having a great 2026, up 16.7%. Consumer staples (11.8%) and basic materials (11.3%) are doing just fine, too. Even a couple of the losing sectors (communication services and consumer discretionary) aren\u2019t hurting you THAT much.<\/p>\n

The bottom line? A little bit of homework can go a long way. Katie Stockton<\/strong> of Fairlead Strategies shared some of the sectors and stocks she\u2019s favoring in our latest MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast<\/strong><\/a>. They\u2019re definitely worth a look.<\/p>\n

I also shared some thoughts last week<\/a> on what it means for the broader markets. The short version is this: Stock market ROTATION is fine. Stock market LIQUIDATION is the real problem. As long as money that\u2019s leaving sectors like tech shifts to other sectors \u2013 rather than cash \u2013 the overall market can do okay. So far, so good on that score!<\/p>\n
