Components of S&P 500 Performance YTD

[BG2008]

I'm wondering if anyone has breakdowns of S&P 500 performance YTD?  It feels a bit weird that there are a ton of companies down 20, 30, 40, 50% this year.  It feels like there are way more carnage than the nice 0% YTD performance of the S&P 500.

It's a bit cumbersome to navigate, but you can get the numbers by clicking around here. 

 

It looks like the only positive contributors were (in order of declining importance): health care, IT, consumer discretionary, and utilities.

Although they only put 15 companies per page with no sorting except alphabetical so navigating is a bit tough

Which goes to show the power of buying the index. Even Buffett recommends it. It saves you from choosing a basket of the exact stocks that do go down 30% versus say 10% for the index. I would think it has something to do with diversification.

Back in June, the top 10 contributors were 125% of the index gains for the year and 8 of the 10 were tech related. So basically the Same&P 10 was positive and the S&P 490 was flat-to-negative by mid-day through the year.

 

This contribution has come down since then as Amazon, Facebook, Nvidia, etc have collapsed in recent months, but it's still probably around 50% to the top 10-15 companies.
