the S&P500 isn't "the market". It's about 82% of the market.The top 10 stocks in the S&P 500 now make up a record-high 35% of the index. Having half of my investments in SP500 index, I find this very disturbing.
What do you guys think?

If you look at "the market" at least the US market you see the top 10 stocks in VTI make up 25.54% of the fund. Source: https://investor.vanguard.com/investmen ... omposition
does that make you feel better to know that the top 10 stocks of VTI "only" make up 25% of the index, rather than 35%?
less concentrated isn't it?
If you have 50% of your money in that, then the top 10 stocks only make up half of 25% or 12.5% of your portfolio. So 10 stocks making up 12.5% of your portfolio means...
1 of those 10 stocks on average makes up around 1% of your total portfolio.
sounds like a nothingburger to me, like most articles on the internet which are designed to irritate you, or get you anxious/fearful so you do something, rather than simply stay the course.
what do YOU think?
