The top-performing sector throughout the entire Biden Presidency? ENERGY

The weight of the entire energy sector right now in the entire S&P 500? 3.2%
The weight of Apple in the S&P 500? 7.6%
The weight of Microsoft in the S&P 500? 6.3%
So every energy company put together in the S&P 500 is worth well less than half of Apple and basically right at half of Microsoft.
And this comes AFTER Energy was up +284% over the last four years, compared to the second place +120% performance in Technology.
