NASDAQ Rising & The S&P 500 Equal Weight Index
The Money Wise guys kick off the show with a rapid-fire market recap. Last week saw the Dow up, the S&P 500 up, and the NASDAQ up. YTD all three remain up, with the NASDAQ still up by double digits - 20.9%, to be exact. The AI craze has taken control of the market this year, fueling a meteoric rise for the NASDAQ. The guys discuss a few stocks leading the charge, plus what the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index looks like - and which tells more of the true story. The guys also discuss whether we’ve seen so few stocks driving so much market performance for more than a quarter, how much investors should put in stocks now, and so much more.
What is the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index?
In several of the past episodes, the Money Wise guys have touched on the importance of examining the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index, and it’s a point of conversation in this episode, too. The S&P 500 Equal Weight Index is, essentially, the opposite of Market Weight, where each slice of the S&P 500 pie is cut based on market cap. When you look at the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index, you get a truer picture of the index’s performance. Currently, the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index shows us that a few stocks are driving approximately 90% of the index’s performance. (Hint: They’re all AI-driven!)
