does anyone know how many stocks in the sa nd p are energy related and how much the non oil stocks are up this year. In other words I want to know how the non oil stocks are doing this year and if the strength in energy masks weakness in other groups. Very interesting that the Dow is near a multi year high and msft,dell and intc are at lows.

Energy is 8.79% of the S&P. Exxon alone is 3.52%.Quote from thecalip:

I was going on energy stocks amounted to about 11 1/2 % up from 4% about 5 years ago, but I could be wrong
You have to remember that the Dow is calculated *differently* from most other indexes. The Dow is price-based. As a result, high-priced components like CAT, MMM, XOM, AA, UTX, DD and others have helped the Dow tremendously this year. Big cap/lower priced stocks like MSFT and INTC have much less significance in its calculation. That's really a major reason an index like the Dow can often hide what other indexes may be showing.
The S&P on the other hand is CAP weighted and INTC, MSFT, DELL and others (even if they are low-priced) have a big impact.
