Shares of Crocs (NASDAQ:CROX) were up 26.06% in intraday trading Thursday. On a delayed quote, the stock was at $150.88 as of 11:37 AM ET. That is a noon reading and will change before the close. Two things drove the jump: a third-quarter earnings beat and a higher full-year outlook.
The natural question for owners of index funds in a 401(k) or IRA is how much of that rally reaches your account. For most diversified funds, very little does.
