Although the S&P 500 index traded within two percentage points of its all-time closing high on Tuesday, the broader market landscape presents a more challenging picture than the headline figures suggest.
Looking beyond the major index highlights, a substantial portion of individual equities are currently experiencing bear market conditions, indicating that the current rally has not been evenly distributed across the stock market.
Finally, some realism. I stopped looking at my apps months ago to avoid the anxiety.
My broker told me ‘pick the right stocks.’ Turns out most are in bear territory too.
Classic headline trap. The index rises on tech giants while the rest of the market bleeds.
I feel this. My portfolio is down while everyone boasts about the S&P hitting records.
