Magnificent seven vs Nifty Fifty

There have been a couple of interesting thoughts recently about how the "Nifty Fifty" really did going forward.

Table one is particularly interesting. I have found Leibowitz to be very thoughtful and insightful, and free!

He references Jeremy Siegel's article years ago, proving ( Siegel says) that even getting in a the peak, you made money in Nifty Fifty, as long as you held on ( for dear life!)


Hussman has a new "special edition" piece reiterating his previous concerns about valuations. He sounds so logical, but the differences between the portfolios of HSTRX and HSGFX could not be more extreme.

  • Nifty Fifty became a bad term in the US that is now reserved for speculative fever in the stock market. And Magnificent 7 (or 6) is an extreme play on that previous extreme.

    But Nifty 50 has been deployed for normal use elsewhere, e.g. India Nifty 50 Index ^NSEI (ETF INDY),

    Repurposing words is an interesting cultural phenomenon where many words have been repurposed with completely different connotations than their original meaning or use.
