The Musk Report

~The Musk Report-

Serutinizing the Inserutable

Just finished reading an article on Bloomberg
about a Twitter conversation that Elon Musk
was having with a couple of other big time
active investors.

Apparently they were criticizing large fund
groups like BlackRock and Vanguard being too
passive and that their policy of supporting more
environmentally responsible investors encouraging
environmental responsibility in return for financial
support. They were also of the belief that these
behemoths have amassed too much power and
control over the markets.

This struck me as kind of odd, because when
Tesla was starting, they solicited funds from these
very same behemoths.

They also were trying to make the point that
large investors were basically passive, while smaller
investors and individuals were much more active
and that there was an inherent risk in having too
much passivity in any market at any time.

What they conveniently failed to discuss was
risk-benefit ratio that smaller active investors have
to deal with, which is where the good old 80/20
rule comes into play, only this time it's about 95/5
against smaller active investors actually being able
to sustain growth from active investing over a
protracted period.

At the end of the day, this was nothing more
than three rich people talking about how not so
rich people could become rich playing the market.
Frankly it was kinda scary because you know that
a lot of people, who don't have the market savvy
are gonna start thinking they know more than they
do and eventually lose their shirts.

Because, alas, there are no get rich quick
Okchemes, only get richer slower schemes.
