], up 37% and 30%, respectively.
In addition, the Russell 2000 index, a measure of small-cap companies, has seen a jump of 49% since the market's multi-year low.
Despite the sharp rebound, the Dow continues to trade in negative territory year-to-date. However, all 30 Dow components are trading in the black since their close on March 9th this year, and only 3 companies in the NASDAQ 100 are trading down since that date.
The following tables portray the winners and losers from the market's rally. From the list below, it looks like investors bet that many financials and perhaps consumer discretionary stocks may have been oversold in early March. Looking forward, many analysts have recently said that we are due for a pullback, indicating some of the biggest gainers might not extend their runs. Others, however, believe this rally still has legs.
