Back in the summer, we wrote in our email newsletter, <\/span>The Nerdy Investor<\/span><\/a>, about how a handful of stocks dominate the S&P 500 \u2014 and how NVIDIA in particular dominates the index. (You can read that issue <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.) Now, Reddit seems to be taking note\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

To answer plead_thy_fifth\u2019s question: there are indeed a number of exchange-traded funds like this. They\u2019re called equal-weight S&P 500 ETFs, and we\u2019re looking at their pros and cons below.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Side note: Plead_thy_fifth refers to a \u201cmassive bubble\u201d in their post, and they\u2019re not alone in that theory. Even OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has speculated that we may be in an AI bubble. I discussed this in a <\/span>recent episode of SS\u2019s Smart Money Podcast<\/span><\/a>. The Nerdy Investor took a more in-depth look at the AI bubble theory in our December issue (you can read that <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
