Reread my comment. I didn't say it was the market. I said it _basically is_ the market. See my comments about FT Wilshire and FTSE Russell.
Regrettably, I shouldn't have bothered replying at all, some HN readers think beta is a fundamental measure. It is not. Many sources get this wrong for some reason.
If you are looking at price movements, you are doing technical, not fundamental analysis.

- andrewmcwatters 5y agoWell I guess 80% of the market isn't basically the market by your definition is it and every major institution that uses the S&P 500 as a proxy for the US market is wrong, right? OK. Sure.
- TameAntelope 5y agoYes, 80% of the stock market isn't 100% of the stock market, that is correct... Also 80% by some metrics, much, much smaller by others.
