About this episode
The S&P 500 is often thought of as a broad market index, but today's reality is quite different. In fact, the index is heavily dominated by a few tech companies- Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta. These six companies alone make up more than 30% of the S&P 500's market cap, which can be misleading for investors who believe they are diversified simply by investing in the S&P 500.
Tune in as Phil and Marc discuss the implications of this market shift and how to make informed decisions that align with your financial goals.
