This year, the Magnificent7 is up a massive 75% while the remaining 493 companies are up just 12%. Combined, the S&P 500 is up ~25%, more than doubling the S&P 493's total return. In other words, the Magnificent 7 is up 3 TIMES as much as the S&P 500 and ~6 TIMES as much as the S&P 493. Just 7 weeks ago, the S&P 493 was DOWN 2% this year. Source: The Kobeissi Letter
