BuyLevel vs. S&P500

BuyLevel Stocks Calculator

 In the world of finance, staying informed and understanding market trends is essential for investors. To achieve this, we often use the S&P 500 index as a point of comparison. 
But why specifically the S&P 500? 
There are several reasons for this choice, shedding light on the global economic situation and investment opportunities.

  • 1. Representative Sample of the Market:

The S&P 500 encompasses the 500 largest publicly traded companies in the United States. This provides a broad and representative view of the American economy and the performance of its companies. As the USA's economy significantly influences global markets, tracking the S&P 500 is akin to monitoring overall market trends for many investors.

  • 2. Liquidity and Stability:

Many of the companies included in the S&P 500 are major players in the market, making the index itself liquid and stable. Consequently, the S&P 500 serves as an indicator of the overall health of the market and investor confidence.

  • 3. Usable as a Benchmark:

The S&P 500 is a widely used benchmark for measuring investment performance. Many investors and fund managers use the index to compare their portfolio's performance against the market average. This comparison helps determine whether their investments outperform or underperform the market.

  • 4. General Economic Indicator:

The S&P 500 often serves as a general economic indicator. Its movements reflect the performance of the American economy and are influenced by various global economic events.

For these reasons, choosing the S&P 500 as a benchmark makes logical sense when analyzing the development of a portfolio. Going forward, I'll provide a detailed overview of how my portfolio has evolved compared to the S&P 500 from January 2024 onwards.

The idea that "you can’t make money with small amounts" or that "small investments only lead to losses" keeps many from even starting to invest. However, the truth is that even investing as little as $100 per month can make a significant impact over 15 or 20 years.
