The S&P 500 stock index topped 5,000 for the first time on Feb. 9, 2024, exciting some investors and garnering a flurry of media coverage. The Conversation asked Alexander Kurov, a financial markets scholar, to explain what stock indexes are and to say whether this kind of milestone is a big deal or not.

What are stock indexes?

  • When prices rise or fall overall for the shares of those companies, so do stock indexes.
  • The number of stocks in those baskets varies, as does the system for how this mix of shares gets updated.
  • The Dow Jones Industrial Average, also known as the Dow, includes shares in the 30 U.S. companies with the largest market capitalization – meaning the total value of all the stock belonging to shareholders.
  • The Nasdaq composite tracks performance of more than 2,500 stocks listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange.
  • The S&P 500 index was introduced in 1957 because many investors wanted an option that was more representative of the overall U.S. stock market.

Why are there so many?

  • Most of them, including the Nasdaq composite and the S&P 500, are value-weighted.
  • That means stocks with larger market values account for a larger share of the index’s performance.

Do these milestones matter?

  • The DJIA first reached 1,000 in November 1972, and it crossed the 10,000 mark on March 29, 1999.
  • Investors and the media will treat the new record set when it gets to another round number – 40,000 – as a milestone.
  • Because there’s a lot of randomness in financial markets, the significance of round-number milestones is mostly psychological.
  • Index milestones matter to the extent they pique investors’ attention and boost market sentiment.
  • Many economists believe that the consumption boost that arises in response to a buoyant stock market can make the economy stronger.

Is there a best stock index to follow?

  • However, because it is value-weighted, it’s heavily influenced by only seven stocks with very large market values.
  • But if you check out several stock indexes rather than just one, you’ll get a good sense of how the market is doing.
  • But the market rebounded, with stock indexes hitting new milestones and notching new highs by the end of that year.
  • This is why I believe advice from the immensely successful investor and fan of stock index funds Warren Buffett is worth heeding.
