This is because cyclically, large caps have done exceptionally well in the past 10 years or so. Many small cap stock indexes went up 300% in value between 2000-2012. During that same time, the S&P100 went up 20% in total.
Extend your graph back an extra 14 years and you'll see that the S&P500 is going to beat each of those indexes over the full 22 years. |

S&P is knocking on 5000's door, Dow is at an all time, and my cash is making over 5%. A 50/50 investor is riding high.

I don't what all that means, just show me how to use it like i'm 5 years old. . . Python (programming language - Wikipedia) That's the easy part. The hard part is that there are thousands of libraries / addins / packages which are customizations to do almost anything, written by real programmers. To be truthful, I can't understand most of the instructions provided with each package, so its google how do i do this in python.. . ChatGPT is also very helpful, though i don't trust it as it hasn't always worked for me. The academic competitor is R software, which is very similar and can do almost anything as well. R is free as well. |

maybe
I used invest in stuff like xlg qqq voo ... but I got tired of mediocre returns. Fidelity webinars Amsbury Research now and then (you can see his you tube) and mainly he has calcs he does to say when it's safe to be in or out of the market but at the end he would show the etf sectors the money was going into and out of. HHmmm why don't I chase the money sector stocks. SO now nvda meta crwd BUT use a stop loss order at like 97% if you do this things change fast. up 39% from Oct doing that

I used to use qqq voo but got tired of slow returns now I follow the leading stocks in the leading sectors but it needs stop loss orders without that I was up 75% then only 24% in a year. Put qqq xlg on a yahoo finance chart then add nvda, meta, crwd

The stock market has moved up so much that I am now about 65-35. I plan to leave it as is as most of it is taxable on sale and I have enough in cash set aside to feel comfortable about it.

I am not collecting fees, SEC no longer prosecuting for anything but insider trading, and that isn't happening here, so we can continue If you check the returns, the difference in the compound growth rate exceeds the difference in fees, which is more about marketing when looking at exactly the same funds with exact same benchmarks and composition goals ie, don't care about fees, only care about after fee return. . . good luck.

This is a link to MANY articles that I read comparing XLG to S&P 500. XLG vs. SPY — ETF comparison tool | PortfoliosLab I moved some of my SPY over to XLG in my 401k , where there are no tax consequences for doing such. Thank you for planting the final seed that made me act |

The other interesting point, at some point the technology sector will start to go sideways, being overvalued and will time correct, and the next 43 will pick up the dollars, and continue. The only way active managers have to beat the index as their benchmark is too overweight the top stocks in the index and hope that the lousy 450 or 493 will not outperform, which is what this ETF represents. . anyway, for those with a legal viewpoint, I am not selling anything, I am not receiving any compensation, and I am invested a large portion of my IRA in the XLG. These posts are only to increase awareness of high quality investments which may outperform your current portfolio, but due your own due diligence as I am not a CFP, CFA, CMT, CTA or any other C%% |
