This may not sound surprising, but the last time shares of AAPL underperformed the S&P 500 over a one-year period was all the way back in January 2009. In other words, this is the first time during the bull market that AAPL has underperformed the S&P 500 over a one-year period.

Good morning. It is said that Ms. Market will at times do whatever it takes to frustrate as many investors as she possibly can. So my assumption is that after a rip-roaring start to 2013 and only a single down day worth mentioning, a great many investors are frustrated these days. Those underinvested bulls are likely frustrated that they haven't had the opportunity to "buy the dip" that everyone has been yammering on about lately. And of course, the bears have to be more than a little frustrated with the fact that they've been almost completely shut out of the game since the end of December.

This can help give each asset credit for its portfolio diversification benefits. In addition, consider viewing investments from a longer time horizon, which can help smooth out fluctuations in stock market performance.
