The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Though I can't say it describes this specific future--my theme is its unpredictability--it's worth noting that the very largest cap firms in the whole market have historically performed *considerably* worse than those that are a bit smaller. The recent result might continue or might not, but it is a historical anomaly.

For the NDX100or equivalent back to 1972, the equal weight has roughly out perfomed the Marketcap weight in only 20years out of 52 years. Overall in the 52 years, marketcap has out performed by a factor of 3.

For NDX100 since 1972, the marketcap has performed better than the equal weight, not worse. Note, for the SP500 this is reversed. The SP500 equal weight has performed 2 times better than the marketcap.
