in the sectors, but piling more money into it. speaking of the different sectors. this is the relative rotation graph. speaking of the different sectors. within the leading sectors, technology at the top, followed by health care. maybe consumer discretionary moving up, but a lot of defensive plays. >> i like this function. it is the jackson pollock of market moves. everything has its own story. tech is a shift toward cyclical companies.

some of these economic oriented companies will do better. time, specific stories going on with consumer discretionary. the few groups where earnings has been doing well. as we pivot back towards positive earnings, that can provide lift to the market. you will see some of the sectors do well. joe pointed this out to me earlier. you mentioned passive investing. someone at bernstein put out a note that passive investment is worse for society than marxism. there is a lot of vocal debate on both sides of the data, how long can smart
