The stock market has been awful this year. The S&P 500 has tumbled more than 15% on the year, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has plunged more than 25%.
However, one bright spot this year has been the energy sector. The average energy stock in the S&P 500 is up almost 50% this year, powered by surging oil and gas prices. Several of these companies could have the fuel to keep rallying, given their plans to return their growing windfall to shareholders. Two energy stocks that could give your portfolio a spark are ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) and EOG Resources (NYSE: EOG) .
