I'd say thus far they have fared quite well. Oil is at $45 a barrel, so Energy stocks are down. Good or bad? Your choice, but I like cheaper oil.

Investing is not a day to day thing. Still up 19%. And will recover when the trade war ends and the FED quits raising interest rates to slow a booming economy.
