50 Best Performing Stocks Year to Date

Bespoke will on a regular occasion put out what the top performing sectors and stocks are YTD.  These types of snap shots give you an idea into the breath and depth of the markets.  What sectors are up or down the most and how do the individual names fall in line.  Personally it gives me a chance to see what names we have been discussing or that I have been research that have made it onto our watch list.



It's no surprise to me with Technology leading the way given the out performance by Apple, Microsoft, and NASDAQ composite in general which is up over 13% this year.  You can also see the shift in sectors as those that were hot last year like utilities and big dividend payers have gone out of style in favor of momentum names.



Unfortunately there are only two names on this list that I had or have been following which are Netflix and Zoltek.  But just because you may not have any names on the list doesn't mean your not having a solid start to the year.  Refer back to our latest weekly performance post [February 18, 20120 Week 7 Performance 2012 LINSANITY Continues.

What will be interesting to follow is how these names will change over the course of the year.  We'll be watching and hope to snag a few.
