Tell you what.

You go tell one of your clients who comes in demanding to know why they pay you more to trail the S&P by several percentage points that they didn’t lose MONEY—just the opportunity cost to earn more money—then come back and let me know how that turns out.

Feels overheated? What ever gave you that notion?

Big Daddy D

1/26/20 4:41pm

Yeah, but a lot of people have lost a lot of money waiting for the correction
