Well, it finally happened…
The S&P 500 hit a new all-time high on Tuesday, closing at 3,389.78 to cap off an unprecedented rally back from the fastest fall into a bear market in history.
But here’s the catch…
This incredible recovery has been powered exclusively by six tech titans — Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Microsoft, and Google’s parent company Alphabet…
Which, through Tuesday, have collectively have gained more than 43% on the year…
While the rest of the companies that make up the S&P are DOWN roughly 4% all together.
Clearly, the “Big Six” are killing it in a post-COVID world where more people are utilizing the digital products and services these companies provide…
But with more than $1.1 trillion invested in mutual funds and ETFs that mimic the S&P’s performance, it means that investors are putting A LOT of faith in those companies’ continued success, whether intentionally or not.
What’s more, with those six companies accounting for more than a quarter of the entire S&P’s value, ANY amount of pullback in their revenue will mean MAJOR ramifications for the index overall…
And for those who are invested in its performance.
Now, the explosion of Big Tech over the past few years has made a lot of investors a lot of money.
But the meteoric rise of these firms — particularly Apple, Amazon, Facebook and Google — has also raised concerns from lawmakers.
In fact, only 3 weeks ago on July 29, the CEOs of all four of those companies were compelled to testify before a Congressional antitrust committee in response to an investigation of their business practices.
Not only is the committee concerned with the companies’ competitive practices, but lawmakers are also taking issue with the incredible amount of user data that’s being compiled on those who utilize their services…
As well as some of the companies’ alleged political censorship.
Although no major actions have been taken just yet, all signs are pointing toward a tighter regulatory environment for these companies in the very near future.
Of course, stricter regulations would almost certainly impact revenues…
Which would have a ripple effect on indexes like the S&P that are disproportionately weighted with these mammoth businesses.
Listen, here’s the point…
Although the S&P represents the 500 largest U.S. corporations, the reality is that’s not where the largest stock growth opportunities lie.
Sure, the index is stocked (pun intended) with blue-chips…
But when you’re talking about stocks with the potential to run 300… 500… or 1,000-plus percent, well, you’re just not going to find them on the S&P.
See, to find those types of opportunities, you have to walk the road less traveled…
But the good news is that there’s a roadmap you can follow.
It’s a strategy that has identified opportunities on off-the-radar stocks that most traders will completely miss…
And it’s signaled moves like 954%…
1,436%…
And even 1,681%.
