The overall markets and indices were up for 2017, and for some, the rising tide may be floating all boats. If you are an investor and your portfolio is not reflecting the positive results that you would have expected given the market performance, it might make sense to review with your financial advisor the big picture (your overall asset allocation, investment strategy, and overall goals and objectives). You should also do a more detailed review of your individual sector and industry allocation and exposure, as well as the size and quality of your individual holdings.
The headlines and news stories are chock full of reports on the positive performance and returns, but the S&P 500, for example, has seen some substantial losers as well in 2017. For example:
- Range Resources (-54%)
- Baker Hughes (-50%)
- Envision Healthcare (-49%)
- Mattel (-49%)
- Chesapeake Energy (-48%)
- Under Armour (-47%)
- General Electric (GE) (-40%)
- Advance Auto (-40%)
- Scana (-37%)
- Hewlett Packard (-36%)
