The big tech “seven make up a remarkable 28 per cent of the market capitalisation of the S&P 500. The top 50 stocks account for 57 per cent. Concentration on this scale is extremely rare. There are just two other occasions — July 1932 and November 2000 — in the past 100 years where the biggest 50 stocks have made up so much of overall US market value, according to Absolute Strategy Research.”

@design_law some of this depends on my relationship with the person. I generally find high-level comments about thesis and organization the most useful. Also important references I may have omitted.
@aaron_bruhl @design_law I also like the new News feed.

I agree and don’t find myself looking at that one. I like Mutuals and Popular With Friends.
