5% of the S&P assets are in index funds, that 5% effects
the market short term to a much greater extent than it's
amount of assets would indicate.
Half of the 5% came in since 1997, it's been since then
that index funds have really caught on.

The vast majority of the older investors are in a mix
and blend type funds. Very few have done any thing
near as good as the S&P so using that for a bench mark
is not representative of what the vast majority of the investors have done.
If you want to see where most investors are
look at the Value Line.
I'm not making this up , I see a lot of accounts.

That's what MOST buy and hold investors
have done, and CD returns have beat it
since 97.
It better get back above 400 by years end, and I have
my doubts that it will.
