When you own the market... Money moving from company A to company B is pretty much the same as moving the money from one pocket to the other. The "amount" of money didn't change - just it's location.Don't worry about it. I'm serious.
Look at the recent 'rotation trades' that have been happening into non-tech. Guess what captures this trend perfectly: index funds -- even just the S&P500.
I remember one day in the last few weeks were rotation trading was big and NVIDIA was down 9% and VOO/VTI were essentially flat. I sent an investing friend a text remarking about how unfair awesome index funds were at instantly capturing value in such market moves.
If a big name loses steam there is a good chance (the economy, interest rates, being not the issue etc) that another VOO/VTI stock is absorbing some of the money leaving it.
Wow, just wow. VTI is a modern marvel.
As such, I don't care who the biggest companies are. I don't care that they likely won't be the biggest companies for ever. Heck, when Taco Bell wins the restaurant wars (watch Demolition Man movie) and is the market leader, that will be fine with me. It's just money moving between my pockets.
