FUNDSTRAT: We hear about “the ‘craziness’ of this market as the top 5 are now 22% weight of the S&P .. we just don't see the bubble. The top 5 stocks .. are 18% of earnings and like >80% of 2020 EPS growth. So their market cap share does not seem so out of line ..” @fundstrat pic.twitter.com/yeVNdSMXGL
