S&P 500 Return Attribution: Its 1% economy

What's with the editorialized title? The actual title is "S&P 500 Return Attribution," and the phrase "1% economy" appears nowhere in it.

It's not editorialized. "Those 5 stocks are up 37% on average while the S&P 500 is up 2%, and the remaining 495 stocks are down 5%."

5/500 = 1%.

The title is different from the title on the article, so it is editorialized.

Generally not. The guidelines say you should submit the actual title, unless the title is clickbait, uninformative, otherwise misleading, or longer than the character limit.

So those 500 stocks are now the "economy?" Its a very misleading title.

It's market cap weighted, so they make up more than 1% of the index. Just based on the numbers shown (+2%, -5%, and +37%) they must represent about 17% of the S&P 500.
