The S&P 500 has had an incredible run—but is it *really* as diversified as most people think?In today’s episode, Brad Connors (iWealth) and Mega Matt zoom out and talk about what’s driving markets right now, what’s worth watching in 2026, and why the “set it and forget it” S&P approach may have more hidden concentration risk than most investors realize.Brad shares what he’s hearing from portfolio managers and economists, why keeping a pulse on younger investors matters (Robinhood, Reddit chatter, and quick-trade culture), and how Bitcoin and the NASDAQ have started to move together at times—raising important questions about risk, sentiment, and where shockwaves could come from if crypto takes a major hit.Then the big conversation: **S&P 500 concentration.** Brad explains the difference between the traditional market-cap weighted S&P 500 and the equal-weighted version—and why the current market is historically top-heavy. When **40% of the S&P 500 is concentrated in the top 10 stocks (mostly tech)**, many investors may be more exposed than they realize.They also touch on:* The likelihood (or not) of a recession next year* Why volatility isn’t “bad” (and how pullbacks can create opportunity)* Real estate: strong locally, but major questions in big-city office markets* Why diversification still wins… even when leadership rotatesIf you’ve been riding this market higher, this is your reminder: know what you own, stay balanced, and don’t let headlines dictate long-term decisions.#iWealth #Investing #SP500 #StockMarket #Diversification #Bitcoin #Markets #FinancialPlanning #WealthManagement #Volatility**iWealth****SUBSCRIBE**Education is first!
