Thompson's Two Cents The S&P 500 is NOT "Stocks" I'll Keep It Quick By Larry Thompson August 14, 2025 "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.
