How market-cap weighting moves the index

Inflation is at an all-time high and so is the stock market. This is a tale of two markets. How is the S&P 500 making record highs when so many Americans are living paycheck to paycheck?

We're going to break it all down. What's happening in the stock market, what the S&P 500 actually is, what market breadth and concentration risk means and why it all matters to you! We also discuss small-cap, mid-cap, large-cap, and even mega-cap companies in your portfolio, briefly, because the small-cap companies are starting to come up. This one is a little intermediate, but all very valuable info when you are a self-directed investor learning how to manage your portfolios to reach your goals. 💰💰💰

(Go to the 20-minute mark for a great analogy about this stuff if you get lost leading up to that point 😉🔮)
