Please edit the first sentence out. Keep it civil.

As far as your claim, it's fine to say let the market sort it out, but perhaps consider that pension funds and index funds now represent a market distortion that means anthropic crashing is harder and even if it does would happen after the mandatory purchases by the index funds which is basically a transfer from the public to the insiders at anthropic

There's a 12 month waiting period plus the company has to show 4+ quarters of positive net earnings before qualifying to be included in the S&P 500. Pension and index funds are gonna be ok.

> mandatory purchases by the index funds

How many dollars do you think are forced to purchase these companies’ shares?

Maybe the SEC should instead block funds from distorting the market by making large predictable transactions, then.
