America's favorite index is misleading investors, analysts warn
Original: America’s favorite index is misleading investors about the state of the stock market
MarketWatch reports that the S&P 500, America's most widely followed stock index, is giving investors a distorted picture of the market. The argument is that the index is heavily weighted toward a small group of giant technology companies, so its performance masks weakness among the broader market. Commentators are urging investors to look at equal-weighted measures and broader indicators before drawing conclusions about market health.
Why now: Concern is growing that a narrow rally in mega-cap stocks is hiding deterioration across the wider market.
