Tech vs. the consumer: The market’s top two groups this year are neck and neck

In the battle for market leadership, consumer discretionary stocks are nipping at technology's heels. Some market watchers agree that one of the high-flying groups is the better bet going forward. The S&P 500 tech sector is the top performer this year, rallying nearly 17 percent, while the consumer discretionary sector is up a little more than 15 percent in the same period.
