Tech Stocks Are Now Their Own Sectors
Wednesday, December 3, 2025
Genesis COG is getting ready to close out a banner year.
YTD, the net percentage gain, no compounding, is 126.7%.
How’d Jeff Bierman do it?
I’m glad you asked, because he has a video that breaks it all down.
Don here.
The S&P closed up 22 handles today. Financials rallied 1.3%. Energy surged nearly 2%.
None of it matters.
I spotted something today that changes how we need to think about this market. The traditional concept of sector rotation is dead. We’re now watching rotations within individual tech stocks that dwarf entire sectors.
Tesla jumped 4% today and drove the entire market. The company sits at $1.5 trillion in market cap with 50% implied volatility. When you volatility adjust that against Google’s $4 trillion at 30% implied vol, Tesla trades like a $2.6 trillion company in terms of market impact.
Here’s the scale problem:
- The entire energy sector (Chevron, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips combined) doesn’t equal half of Microsoft’s market cap
- All financials combined roughly equal Apple plus Microsoft
- Tesla’s full 17% year-to-date gain came in just the last 8-10 trading sessions
- Call buying in Tesla hit nearly double normal volume today
The call activity forced market makers to buy stock. CTAs then jumped on the momentum. Meanwhile, Meta and Microsoft saw heavy selling pressure.
Apple, Google, Microsoft, Tesla, and Nvidia aren’t just large cap tech stocks anymore. They’re individual sectors trading against each other. You can’t compare them to traditional sectors. You have to compare their revenue to sovereign nation GDP figures.
Microsoft continues its downtrend despite denying a negative blog report about AI adoption. Meta looks ready to roll over again. Amazon’s bid is fading. Apple hit new all time highs but closed down 0.7%.
The advance decline line closed strong at 74 stocks higher in the S&P 100. Broad market participation looked solid. But when Tesla moves 4% on a $1.5 trillion market cap with extreme volatility, it overwhelms everything else.
Traditional sector analysis no longer applies to this market. These individual tech names have reached critical mass. They’re bigger than sectors. They move independently based on rotation flows, not fundamental sector trends.
