It is worth looking at this chart which shows the age of companies. The S&P 500 is highly dynamic with many young companies and few old ones. The life expectancy of many companies is surprisingly short. If you buy an index today, the composition over the long-term may very different. There is nothing special about being in the index with respect to longevity. Nothing is stable. Nothing is fixed. Change is all around us.
