On Wednesday investors were trying to make heads or tails of the stock market with the S&P 500 trading in negative territory, one day after its worst session since August.And the action would have been even worse, if not for the energy sector. Energy bulls drove the XLE higher, generating a pocket of strength in the S&P but that strength may be a double edged sword. Rather than being a signal of global growth, these gains are largely tethered to the rapidly spreading unrest in the Middle East and concerns about oil supply disruption.
