    All 10 major S&P sectors are up by 1% or more, but financials (XLF +3.5%) are spiking following bank beatdowns of recent weeks and a bid for insurers (KIE +5.3%) after Irene's damage appears less severe than feared. Bank of America (BAC +6%) rallies (earlier) even after at least two firms lower price targets. Also: JPM +2.9%, WFC +2.9%, C +3.8%, MS +3.8%.

People more and more buy ETFs that reward all components of the composition equally, regardless of actual individual stock performance.
