The Surge In Consumer Services

Here’s something I didn’t anticipate (which is a large category of things). The Consumer Services Sector has soared over the past few years, and it’s gotten stronger every day.

What’s interesting is that this sector had basically kept up with the broader market for years. Starting in mid-2008, it started to break away. The index has barely taken a break in the last two years.

Note that this is the Dow Jones U.S. Consumer Services Index which is similar (I believe) to the what the S&P calls its S&P 500 500 Consumer Discretionary Index.
