It's hard to believe, but following the recent weakness in the stock, Goldman Sachs (GS) is actually underperforming the average stock in the S&P 500 Financial sector since the March lows.  As shown in the chart below, the stock has rallied by 125% since the S&P 500 made its closing low on March 9th.  Over that same time period, the average performance of the stocks in the S&P 500 Financial sector is a gain of 157%.  Who would have thought that the one publicly traded financial company that seemed to benefit the most from the Financial crisis (and some would say Washington rolodex) would be trailing the sector as a whole throughout the rally?
