Many people are concerned that the US market is dominated by just seven stocks, "The Magnificent Seven". In this video I look at the reasons behind this success and whether it is likely to continue. I also discuss whether it is sensible to tilt away from these very successful stocks and if you decide to tilt away, I will show you some different ways you can do it.

Full disclosure, I own all of them via a tracker fund and therefore have a vested interest in their continued success. However one of the biggest mistakes people make is so called 'recency bias'.

The way i tilt away from them sort of Is 80% FTSE all world (not just S&P 500 or just the US) and 20% small cap value weighted in the US and Europe. Compared to someone who invests 100% S&P 500 i have much less exposure to the magnificent 7.

Hello Ramin, Thank you for another great video! Would it be possible to split out (isolate) the magnificent 7 stocks from the remaining 493 stocks in the SP500, I wonder. I know Vanguard has a Megacap index fund but I don't know how to get a cap weighted 'SP500 minus Magnificent 7' index. This could be useful in a proportional rebalancing strategy. Your opinion on this as a possible approach would carry a lot of weight with me. Thanks again for your clear minded and expert insights on investing 😊

Was thinking earlier, most videos advice is based on full working life investing. If you are 10-20yrs from accessing your pension, should the S&P500 not be more attractive as US is so strong and MOST PROBABLY will still be the strongest stock market in next 10-15yrs? I am in this position and i am invested in VHVG and wonder should i keep it, move it to S&P500, or mix the VHVG with S&P on a 60/40% or 70/30% basis to pump up the US bias. Any thoughts on this by others?

4:30 common misconception. Technically they can sniff unencrypted DNS requests and the first leg of the TLS encryption channel, but once that’s established (that’s how you get the green padlock) all traffic is impossible to sniff out because it’s encrypted from your computer to their server. All brokerages worth half a lick use TLS on everything nowadays, so a VPN really adds no additional benefit from that perspective.

[@Banthah]

Such a good video. Thanks for posting Ramin This is a great question, and one I have been pondering myself lately. I am definitely concerned about my exposure to the magnificent 7, and of course whether an AI bubble has formed that might be about to burst. My entire life’s wealth that I’ve worked years to accrue is 65% invested in stocks, of which 65% is in the USA. This is my retirement at stake here and it genuinely concerns me. I didn’t know there was an evenly weighted option out there. Gonna do some digging I think. I’m not switching everything over, but I do think I’d like to reduce my exposure to the 7 by “some” amount (TBC). Not too much, because I agree I think these are excellent companies, but just enough to ease the nagging doubts. An S&P 500 ex-Nvidia ex-Tesla anyone? 😊 Once again, thanks for this video, really good!

[@CuriouslyInquisitive]

Ramin, have you given up on the golden butterfly portfolio where the ulcer index is lower?

Personally i think you should overweight the magnificent 7 as a hedge against any potential disruption and economic dislocation caused by AI. It seems like most of the productivity and economic benefits of AI will accrue to these companies and their shareholders so you need to have a stake especially if your job has the potential to be replaced by AI

The "magnificent 7" as you put it, is fluid and most of the growth in the market happens amongst then. I'll extend it to "magnificent 9 to 11". In summary, I think one is more likely to capture most of the market growth by investing in the top 9 stocks by market capitalization using a "ladder" system. Alternatively, do the same for with Russell 2000. Happy investing.

Damodaran wrote a piece after Nvidia's stock popped in late May last year. His DCF showed it was overvalued, even with very optimistic assumptions. He said he'd sold half his holding of NVDA. While it looked irrational to keep half, with hindsight it was the right decision, or at least much better than selling the lot. I believe it shows the case for intuition in investing. Maybe not for everyone, or completely relying on it (he did sell half). I'm not sure if that's a controversial point of view.

This video makes imo few probably incorrect assumptions... 1. Valuation model for M7... based on earnings predictions which may not be correct. Is for example Tesla fairly valued at PE 45 & fwd PE the same? Unlikely. 2. One must have US stocks because it's the largest market. What? Largest or not, it's still overvalued. 3. Getting away from M7 to rest of SP500... Good idea, but aren't pretty much all US funds currently expensive? 4. Last decade megacaps winning... Right, but at the same you noticed how the equal weight outperfromad exactly during last two larger market crashes... when the megacaps had high valuations such as currently.... which is the ecact point people might want sell M7. ...However tilting away and getting back back later on to US stocks does make sense - when they're fairly valued. Meanwhile I'm buying other countries & bonds while trying to have enough dry powder ready. Of course US stocks may stay expensive for quite some time, but imo that's not good enough reason to invest on US stocks at these evaluations.

[@AlanMWatson801]

The job of an investor is not to identify a list of companies that he likes and then spend his day convincing himself that they are cheap no matter what. "Fundamentals have driven the stock higher". What does that even mean with earnings multiples of 30x, 40x, 50x? It is much easier to focus on earnings and risk/reward. Take Visa for example: at around $280, you get a ~1% dividend yield and a ~2% buyback yield. Assuming sustained 7-10% growth going forward, we have a fairly predictable 10-13% business return. All good so far... assuming that the multiple stays around the current 32x. If the multiple contracts to 25x in 5 years (-5% CAGR), we are down to 5-8% If the multiple contracts to 20x in 5 years (-9% CAGR): we are down to 1-4% And if growth/margins take a hit in a recession, we are in negative territory. This is a poor risk/reward profile, however great the company is: growth MUST stay strong, margins MUST stay wide and multiples MUST stay high in order for you to do well. Too many must's: that is what price to perfection means.

[@digdougx]

As a US investor, we balance the Mag 7 with Value and Dividend companies. SCHD is a good way to do this. Companies like Coca Cola, Pepsi, Home Depot, Lockheed Martin, Ford, General Electric, Walmart, Target, JPMorgan, etc, are American institutions that provide very stable and consistant returns regardless of the economy. I suggest my international peeps at least take a look a US value and dividend aristocrats.

14:09 Surely an equal-weight index should be cheaper? There shouldn't be ANY "churn" as their relative movements over time within the S&P500 are ignored. £50,000 gets you £100 of each company and that's it forever, unless you buy more, sell up or a company is replaced in the index. Almost no causes of ongoing expenditure so fees should be even lower, no?

Technically, no. In a market cap weighted index, if stock no.5 rallies by 40% and the remaining 499 stocks don't move, the (market cap) fund does nothing. In an equal weighted index, it would be a forced seller of stock no.5 when it comes to rebalancing. Because of this the churn is higher as well as the transaction fees within the fund itself (buying and selling more). Effectively what the equal weighting does is having a huge size tilt. I'm not saying equal weighting is a bad thing, but if I were to tilt away from mega cap growth and still be globally diversified, I'd be looking at the Global Value Factor funds. But again, these are unsuitable for an average investor as value is a risk premium and many people struggle with market risk alone. Another option is to run two funds, a Target Date fund alongside a factor fund such as a market cap global mid/small cap fund.
