I seem to recall Samuel Goldwyn of MGM went to London and met privately with George Bernard Shaw. After their meeting English reporters asked Shaw how the meeting had gone. He replied, "It was a disaster--all Mr. Goldwyn wanted to talk about was art, and all I wanted to talk about was money."
I've always thought the efficient market hypothesis was a rather poetical concept. That somehow, our collective striving gives birth to a kind of oracular entity that is indifferent to the striving of any individual investor. I mean, come on!
I'm no Goethe expert, but if Goethe were alive today I am reasonably confident he would put something in Faust about index funds.
Interesting you've chosen to highlight these contributions from Tuesday's comments. I was wondering if there is a view that poets - because they live in garrets perhaps - eschew money matters as mutually exclusive? No axe to grind, it just made me think!

C’est la vie!

Wait hold on.
'And somehow, our collective striving births

Of any individual investor!'
Well, you've gotta start somewhere I suppose.
I'm invested (hah); how do you tie index funds to the Divine Feminine?
If I'm remembering Faust correctly, the Divine Feminine is highly volatile and probably should not make up too much of your portfolio!
Actually I feel like the Divine Feminine would be more of an investment strategy than a particular financial asset?
