How many people do you suppose energy companies and the service companies that support energy companies employ? Its crazy to want the energy sector to under perform.

So then if the energy companies "under perform", then oil becomes scare and then oil prices rise again and then oil companies do well again.

What's the problem here?

That cycle takes at least a year and a half. More likely 2 and a half. While its under performing all sorts of stuff under performs. Including a lot of your mutual funds.

Its a bigger deal than your $100 a month savings in your fuel cost.
