Halfway through, 2018 delivers little to S&P 500 investors
Halfway through 2018, investing in Wall Street's leading S&P 500 stock index has been nothing to shout about. The index of about 500 of the largest U.S. corporations has risen 1.7 percent year to date, far short of its 8 percent increase in the first half of 2017, even as the technology-heavy Nasdaq .IXIC and Russell 2000 index .RUT of smaller companies touch record highs. Including dividends, the S&P 500 .SPX has returned only about 3 percent in 2018, compared with nearly 22 percent last year.
