The S&P 500 is an index of 500 US stocks that covers roughly 80% of the available US market capitalization. It is one of the oldest and best-known stock indexes in the world. The S&P Dow Jones Indices website says that there are 3.4 trillion US dollars indexed to the S&P 500. That is 3.4 trillion US dollars invested in index funds that are tracking the S&P 500 index. That is a lot of money invested in the S&P 500.

  1. is it possible that the reason s&p500 continues to be out performing outside its statistical range is because of the large automatic inflows to index funds over the past 20 years and not because of the underlying fundamentals of its holdings? and as a result, the s&p 500 will continue to out perform as long as the inflows continue to prop up the underlyings?

  2. In the last 30 years the S&P 500 has produced three monstrous periods of growth with there being a massive decline after each with a recovery again to a peak period.
    There is nothing special about the most recent period which peaked in 2021 other than it lasting a few years longer than previous periods.
    In the past there has been some truly spectacular periods of growth. So after this period of decline if you can find the low in the market you will probably find a massive growth period afterwards.

  3. A weak dollar can signal an economic downturn, making me to ponder on what are the best possible ways to hedge against inflation, and I've overheard people say inflation is a money-eater thus worried about my savings around $200k.

  4. 2:38, did he consider the prevailing market conditions in March 2009? I believe this is crucial information, given that it marked one of the most significant market downturns, presenting an opportune moment for investment amidst substantial recession-driven valuations.

  5. Lots of wrong assumptions in this video …from this very relatively young content creator who neither has knowledge or experience in this field . Saying a lot of words , as if he was a 50 year investor who has truly followed markets.—-but really mostly saying foam, very little substance. S/P 500 is fine. I actually wonder if this guy , as a Canadian, has a resentment to USA stocks or something.

  6. I'll stick with Warren Buffet's recommendation to dollar cost average into the S&P 500. Over the long-term, the S&P 500 will do just fine – maybe not the best, but good enough for a pleasant retirement. Adding international – and determining a percentage in international – just adds clutter and leads people to tinker with their portfolios.

  7. Hi i'm from indonesia, despite it short coming the snp500 index is the cheapest way for me to diversitify and get exposure my investment internationally. Thank ben for your information.

  8. "It very unlikely the future performance will repeat again in the future". Isn't that a gambler falacy? Because the future performance is independent from the past performence. It is posible the return will be repeat again in the future. I hope you read this for clarification.
