The S&P 500 is lying to you [YLYm3LhTfuV]
The U.S. just blockaded the Strait of Hormuz and the S&P traded green. That confuses people until you understand cap-weighting and concentration. The top 10 stocks are over 40% of the index, the most concentrated since 1972, and the weighting has shifted toward semis. When that narrow group catches a bid, the index follows even if the rest of the market is flat. Pull up the equal-weight S&P. Still well off January highs. The average stock has not recovered.
