As for index funds, your trained monkey hasn’t eaten in 10 years of net negative S&P 500-indexed returns.  The monkey is dead.  Just because we enjoyed 30 years of average 8-12% returns doesn’t mean they’re guaranteed by god or country.  Active management of capital drives a capitalist society forward – index funds are merely dumb piles of loot for the theoretical man in the business suit to the far right to squeeze when necessary.

Do you mean these ten years?

I’m sure the monkey actually gave his life trying to protect the bonuses. At all costs and whatever the outcome.
