The S&P 500 is NOT "Stocks"

I'll Keep It Quick

"Stocks" were down big today. 

Over 70% of S&P 500 "stocks" were down today. 

The index? Green.

I’m no math major, but that math makes the point. 

The S&P 500 isn’t “Stocks” — it’s a active momentum fund heavily weighted toward its biggest stars.

You can fight that, complain about it, or just use the context to execute better.

Because here’s the lesson from today. 

70% of "stocks" can drop, but if the MVPs are scoring, the scoreboard still favors the Bulls.

So if you think “stocks” are going down, the S&P 500 isn’t the vehicle to bet that idea.

It doesn’t represent "stocks." It represents the leaders.

Anyways, that’s my two cents.
