Even casual market observers are aware of warnings that the 2023 stock rally rests precariously on just a few giant companies. Rarely has a rally occurred in the past decade in which the same alarm wasn’t raised. Similar caution was counselled throughout the FAANG-fomented bull run of the late 2010s.
