And given the valuation of the index, you constantly hear how the market is overvalued or "fairly valued." It's not true, for the reasons we've often discussed, related to historical low interest rates environments. And it's certainly not true for the energy sector.
Take a look at energy performance year-to-date relative to the rest of the market:
