1st quarter sector performance

Looking at the Fidelity sector funds for Q1 2006, at the top of the list is:
1) Gold
2) Brokerage
3) Environmental
4) Biotech
5) Air Transport

The bottom five include:
Home Finance
Money Market Fund
Medical Equipment
Insurance
Multimedia

On Nightly Business Report (PBS Television), the quarterly review noted Amazon and Intel among the worst performers. JDS Uniphase, Nvidia, Caterpillar among the best. I know about Amazon first hand, taking a loss on it this quarter.

All the major US stock indices, the SP500, DJIA, Nasdaq 100 were up between 3% and 4% for the quarter.

Here's to a good first quarter and a better second. Cheers.
