Equal-weighted S&P 500 is up 14.5% YTD and beating the regular S&P 500, indicating broad participation. Broad market strength suggests diversified equal-weight exposure can outperform cap-weighted indexes. Long equal-weight market ETF as a play on continued breadth and broad-based upside. Breadth can reverse quickly; if large caps reassert leadership or market rolls over, RSP could lag or fall. No other actionable trade ideas in this post.
