A sizzling stock, top buy-and-hold performers and the Trans Mountain effect: What you need to know in investing this week

The pundits who watch bubblevision see the S&P 500 going to new nominal highs, while those who watch the tapes know better – that we are exactly where we were 10 months ago,. Since that time, all your portfolio has done is pick up the dividend – the total return in the stock market is just 2 per cent.

Even within the S&P 500, the sector composition has a recessionary feel to it. Since first hitting 2,900 back in August of last year, the best-performing sectors have by far been the ones you want to own in a lower growth/lower rate environment – utilities , real estate ‎, consumer staples , and communication services . The sectors that have lagged the most – in fact, declined outright – were energy, materials, financials and industrials.
