No the S&P has the best sampling of sectors & industries, 500 companies. The DOW only has 30 and they tend to be conglomerates, the worlds leading companies. Judges world climate best. The NAZ are mostly high PE companies, speculative companies. Growth stocks. The Russel's and other indexes more specialized in individual areas of interest. IMO the $SPX tells it all for the USA market.
