I've always wondered why the DOW and SP500 are the standard metrics used to asses market performance in the media when it only encompasses a portion of the market. There have been days where my total stock market ETFs and funds such as Vanguard's VTI have been positive while the Dow/SP have been negative and vice versa. Wouldn't it make sense to look more at the total picture and reference indices such as the NYA or something similar that's more comprehensive?
