Up 546 right now.
Hopefully next week we claw back some more losses
All I want to see is it get back to 1/1/25, at least for now

If we finish strong today probably higher early. Just don't see this as a bottom. Markets don't let you off the hook this easy.

Nice to see some green but I really don't care one day to another. I'm in it for the long-term so it's just noise at this juncture.

What are these “points” that you speak of?

there's always a bull trap in a bear market. Personally, I'm hoping for a larger drop given how much dry powder I'm sitting on. I did put some in the other day but trying to gauge when I should keep adding

Thank god.
Honestly I'd be fine with a sideways week next week. Everything calm down.

Because the S&P500 and the NASDAQ are market cap weighted fewer than 10 mega cap stocks have undue influence on those indices results.
One day last week 3/4 of the 500 stocks in the S&P 500 index were UP for the day but because MSFT, AMZN, TSLA, NVDA, AAPL, META and GOOG were down, the index was DOWN for the day.
To me that is not a good representation of the "stock market."

Not sure how you interpret the DOW being a better or best representation, especially considering its price weighted.
I don't disagree with the assessment of heavy tech focus of SPY

You think price weighting is better? That's a completely arbitrary method and bizarre to me that we still use.it out of tradition just because when it was created there was no better method than simply adding up closing prices.
Market cap weighting is top heavy but at least it has a rational basis.
It boggles my mind that DOW avg is still the most/first quoted on news programs. And they talk points up/down and often dont even put it in a percentage context at least.

For example, my Schwab portfolios for today at the market close is very similar to how the DJ performed today.

Exactly, while market cap weighting has its on issues, price weighted is completely stupid

I find myself wanting to see green overall everyday but being a far ways away from retiring I know in reality seeing red everyday is more of a benefit for me. It allows me to buy lower and lower and then in 20 years I never want to see red again

You may as well show total value if you're going to show a $400k one year change.
It doesn't bother me but I'm trying to save you the trouble.
