Shocking stat of the day: The market cap of the SP500’s top 5 stocks is now equal to the size of the bottom 407 stocks.
Apple, $AAPL, Nvidia, $NVDA, Microsoft, $MSFT, Google, $GOOGL, and Amazon, $AMZN are worth now a combined $15.3 trillion. These companies have added $5 TRILLION in market value since the beginning of last year.
