For another perspective, here is a list of the biggest market cap companies publicly traded in America (not just S&P 500):

Netflix is off the page in the ~25th range. Maybe we should replace them in the acronym with Microsoft... FAAMG? MAFANG? Add in Alibaba and get you some MAFANGA.
Now here is a list of the mega caps (top 36 companies) sorted by the biggest gainers over the last year:

So these are the guys pulling the market up lately. Outliers are the top 3 there clearly, TSLA PDD and NVDA. How do the MAFANGA stocks check in? They are all there in the top 15 shown, but more mixed in now. And it's almost entirely tech. The 2nd half of the list (not shown) is far more diversified, but looks like you'd be sitting somewhere around a 0-3% total return over the last year if you owned only them.
I have Apple stock. Wish I had the other 3.Quote:

Would have been nice, but I don't lose sleep over it.
I bought Apple yesterday.
With my luck, that ought to be your sign to get out.
I’m thinking the 5G launch of the iPhone is going to be bigger than expected, and they are making lots of money from every single segment they are in now.
But since I bought some, who knows what it will do.

But I guess if that risk wasn't their in the first place neither would be the potential gains.

Holding AAPL in 2000 meant a devastating 75% plus haircut, but notice the price. Even if you held from the 2000 peak and took that loss, you'd be up 100X. :eek:

Stock split makes the stock look 'cheaper'.Quote:

They aren't in the children laptop market. The iPhone is by far their biggest money maker.
He says AAPL is holding the entire market up, but we see the NYAD breadth chart every day in Coolhand's account thread, and its currently posting new highs.Quote:
