Nowhere but up – the S&P500 and why the index keeps winning

While some of the metrics for the world’s largest and deepest sharemarket remain extraordinary – new all-time highs, the highest level of concentration since the 1930s, company margins 50% above their long run average – the wins keep coming. So is it time to trim, add or hold?

S&P Dow Jones Indices’ Howard Silverblatt has been covering the US for 48 years, and shares:

• How company sales have just hit an all time record
• Whether the highs can keep coming,
• Which sectors are thriving, and which are surviving
• Why we can’t ignore the billions the Big Beautiful Bill will add to the economy, and
• Why traders have to trade what’s in front of them, but investors have different objectives
