People keep saying it's a bloodbath beneath the surface and that returns are hyper-concentrated.
But look at the actual YTD numbers:
S&P 500 +13%
Mid caps +10.1%
Small caps +10.7%
Foreign stocks +9.5%
Emerging markets +15.4%
That's not concentration. That's a pretty healthy rally across the board.
The "only 7 stocks are working" narrative was true in 2023. It's not true now. Small caps and international are both up double digits. Mid caps are keeping pace.
Yes, mega-cap tech is still leading. But when everything else is also green, that's called a broadening rally — not a disaster waiting to happen.
Stop letting the doom crowd talk you out of a perfectly normal bull market.
