It's quite clear that there is an effort to engineer mega financial vehicles that index tracking funds are forced to buy. The incentive to do so is massive, and there is nothing illegal about it.

As a holder of index funds such as the S&P, I'd much prefer that these vehicles are excluded for at least some period of time to ensure that the greater fool isn't simply my index portfolio.

I did, in fact, use words. Would you prefer heiroglyphics?

All of those are real, natural, organic and, might I add, "actual" words.

The comment above is perfectly clear, and if you have been living under a rock since the Reagan years, that's on you.

See Elon talking about Tesla finally joining the S&P 500 so index funds would finally have to buy its shares. See a hundred examples where socialism is reserved for the few, the jungle and legal constraints for the rest of us.
