Following a 4-week rally with all major indices up over 20%, the markets traded lower as of midday Monday, weighed by on-going concerns over the health of the financial sector.  Despite four weeks of steep gains, financials, industrials, and utilities companies remain deep in the red year-to-date, recording losses over 10%. 

Within the S&P 500, the Financial sector takes the number 1 spot to the downside year-to-date, with a loss of 25%.  Companies such as Citigroup [C  Loading...      ()   ], Bank of America [BAC  Loading...      ()   ], and Capital One Financial [COF  Loading...      ()   ], rallied in the past four weeks with gains north of 160%, 96%, and 46%, respectively.  However, the shares of all three companies continue to trade down roughly 50% YTD. 

Out of all sectors in the S&P 500, only two sectors are up year-to-date: Technology is up over 8%, while Materials are up about 1%.

The following tables depict some of the biggest percent gainers and losers within the S&P 500 year-to-date, excluding any companies with a share value below $5.*
