Fully agree…but maintain the strong belief that what I described is the many and what you described is much fewer. I know I used to do it…until I found this wonderful place.It is not always about beating the market when one deviates from market-weight; managing personal risks can influence the portfolio construction. As long as there are investors who will assess the stocks for their merit on both sides of a trade, I am not concerned either with indexing.I am not concerned. People are still people and most of them are trying to find the "perfect portfolio", buying individual stocks, digital assets, paying AUM to managers who then serve up all manner of investments to demonstrate their worth and ensure stickiness to the client, and coming up with other ways to beat the market including the long term bonds with leverage approach hatched in our very own forum.
Best wishes.
