The Wall Street Journal
The top 10 companies in the S&P 500 now account for over 37.5% of the index's total market value, sparking concerns about market concentration and potential risks. As the giants continue to grow, many market experts are sounding the alarm, warning of a potential market bubble and decreased diversification. With the rise of megacap stocks, investors are left wondering if it's time to rebalance their portfolios and consider alternative investment strategies, such as dividend investing or ETF trading, to mitigate potential losses. The concentration of wealth among a few giant companies raises questions about the overall health of the market and the impact on individual investors.
