Dow Jones Sector Total Returns for 2008

By JLP | March 11, 2008

Here’s a quick look at the total returns so far this year for the Dow Jones Sector Indexes, which make up the Dow Jones Total Market Index:

    I’m not trying to start a speculating discussion but what are your thoughts about the rest of the year JLP (or maybe the next few months even)? Any general impressions or “vibe?”

    Do you think the stimulus package will do any immediate good?
