When it comes to an index like the S&P 500 where even some of the smaller components (e.g. Church & Dwight Co (read: Arm & Hammer), Hilton, etc) would be considered "large cap" then you probably want to do equal weight

I think the post is at least 4-5 years old given the references to Matasano which was acquired before the startup that patio11 and tptacek did before Patrick became an employee at Stripe, I would guess that the post is a bit dated - probabl
