Equal Weight Index Funds................

Here's one I'd not noticed before. It's the NASDAQ 100 Index on an Equal Weight basis - QQEW.

As the RSP differs from SPY, so does QQEW differ from QQQQ. Both the equal weight index funds have whipped their respective high profile weighted funds by sizable margins over time.

SPY vs RSP

QQQQ vs QQEW

With such large differences, why does the media spend so much more time following the weighted - underperfoming indexes?
