S&P 500 Carried by 7 Stocks While Broader Market Lags

The 7 largest stocks in the S&P 500 (Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Tesla, Meta) have returned 92% on average this year.

These 7 stocks are driving the S&P 500's performance, while the rest of the index lags behind.

This lack of broad market participation is a sign of weakness according to some analysts.

The risk is the market leaders fall and bring the index down too.

Investors should stick to their plans and diversify, rather than try to time the market.
