☆ Karen Firestone: Tech dominates the S&P 500. It's time to ask whether it's the best benchmark for investors
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-29 | by ( Karen Firestone | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +7 min

Answering that question assumes understanding why we use the S & P 500 in the first place. While the Dow heavily favors industrial businesses — steel, chemicals, autos, oil and gas — the S & P 500 offers a more diverse representation. Also, the S & P 500 index is weighted by market value, which makes sense to professional investors. While certainly not a proxy for the S & P 500, it provides more exposure to other industries and stocks. As shown below, the equal-weighted S & P 500 has slightly outperformed the S & P 500 over the past 20 years.

☆ What are the chances Nvidia can continue its parabolic gain? Let's look at stock market history

That's over a 2000% gain, compared to 83% for the S & P 500. While the absolute numbers were uninspiring, the relative performance, versus the S & P 500, was even more discouraging. Of the 49 double-bagger-plus names, only 21, or 43%, outperformed the S & P in the next year, with 28, or 57% underperforming. It generally relies on earnings growth, often before those profits emerge, but eventually as the company's sustaining force. Does that mean buying NVDA is safe, because of that earnings growth rate?

☆ The Comet Strike Theory That Just Won’t Die

For decades, scientists had puzzled over the cause of this rapid climatic reversal, which they marked by, among other things, the reappearance in southerly fossil deposits of tundra plants. These included the wildflower Dryas integrifolia, which gives the 1,200-year time span its name: the Younger Dryas. Here was an explanation: The impact caused the sudden cooling, the Firestone team argued, and contributed to the demise of the mammoths, steppe bison and other large Pleistocene mammals, along with the people who pursued them. Researchers later claimed that the Younger Dryas impact prompted a turn toward agriculture in Eurasia and eventually, civilization. “So the whole setup of human culture would have been very different,” he says.

The Jan. 31 session, which came after the first Big Tech earnings day, was tough. A non-stock devotee would be blown away by any of the following data points: In the fourth quarter , Meta grew ad volume by 21% year over year. Meanwhile, net sales for Amazon in 2023 hit $574.8 billion – a 12% increase from the year earlier. The above table illustrates the compound annual growth rate analysts expect for the mega caps, the S & P 500, and the 494 stocks excluding the Big Six. This compares to 20.3 for the S & P 500.

Anya Firestone’s job as a luxury tour guide in Paris has brought her to many rarefied corners of the city. But only recently did she do something that countless locals and visitors have done over the last 130 years: Book a reservation at Maxim’s, the storied French restaurant that opened in 1893 and has counted Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Margrethe II of Denmark, Jean Cocteau, Jane Birkin and Man Ray among its patrons. “The place was packed,” Ms. Firestone, 35, said of the night she ate there in late November. She was not alone in that perception. “Many people, even most, did not realize it was open as a restaurant,” said Pierre Pelegry, a director at Maxim’s who has worked there for 27 years and was hired by Pierre Cardin, the French fashion designer, after he bought the restaurant in 1981.

“I don’t see my family members quite often, so, you know, around the holidays is when I see everyone,” Chavez said. “It feels like all of the hard work and all of the years of going to therapy and things like that is gone. On top of making travel arrangements, packing and finding a house sitter, heading back to your hometown for the holidays also means mentally preparing to see those friends and family members you haven’t seen in a while. The youngest sibling will still get treated like the youngest sibling by their parents, no matter how old they actually are. “Remind yourself that you don’t have to stay in situations that negatively impact your mental health, and you don’t need to have conversations that you don’t want to have,” Missud said.

The last speaker who prevented a shutdown, Kevin McCarthy, was booted from his position by Republican extremists for working with Democrats to pass a stopgap bill. Mr. Johnson might have tried to appease the howling kennel on the far right by throwing it a treat in exchange for support, as he did with the I.R.S. There were no policy riders or crazy demands for cuts, and as a result, all but two House Democrats voted for it. The far right never trusted Mr. McCarthy, but feels a kinship with Mr. Johnson’s fringe cultural positions. The stopgap bill is weird because it punts that fight to two dates.
