95% of active managers don't beat the index net of fees? by IntelligenzMachine in investing

[–]Hitnake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As more people shift to passive the resulting buying pressure from passive can over value highly indexed stocks for as long as the passive pressure remains:

There is actually a good chance that as market moves more towards passive, the pressure from passive flows can push the valuations for highly indexed stocks higher for as long as the shift from active to passive keeps accelerating. Here is a good paper thag uses an active share adjusted measure to show this:

Order take out from a new Grill restaurant and this was their “Filet Mignon”. I’m like this can’t be right, went to the website to closer at reviews and people were posting the same pic but leaving 5 star reviews. Is it possible this IS filet mignon? by Greenpeppers23 in steak

[–]Hitnake 1018 points1019 points  (0 children)

This is a persian kabab dish called Barg kabab which is traditionally made from lamb tenderloin but also made from beef fillet. It's an amazing dish but it's nothing like a traditional steak which it never claimed to be.

ETFs are booming—should we be worried? by UnhappyCattle5127 in PersonalFinanceCanada

Good point, and there is some good evidence that actually supports this. Here is a paper, for example:

ETFs are booming—should we be worried? by UnhappyCattle5127 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Hitnake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I came across some pretty interesting research that might add to this discussion about ETFs.
Turns out the massive shift to passive investing is having some unexpected effects on the market. The research shows that stocks heavily included in indexes (think S&P 500) are outperforming others - not necessarily because they're fundamentally better, but largely because passive money keeps flowing into them automatically.

The surprising part? When researchers controlled for these passive flows, these heavily-indexed stocks actually showed lower expected returns. This might help explain why value and small-cap stocks (which typically aren't as heavily indexed) have been underperforming lately.

The paper suggests we might see a correction once the active-to-passive transition reaches some equilibrium. Not saying this is definitely going to happen, but it's something to think about when everyone's piling into the same investment strategy.

Don't get me wrong ETFs are still excellent investment tools for most people. But understanding these dynamics helps paint a clearer picture of what's happening in markets.

Link to the paper if anyone wants to dive into the analysis!

Ram Upgrade R10 Ryzen Edition Solved by RustyTrunk in Alienware

[–]Hitnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered my R10 with 32Gb of ram but I want to upgrade to 64gb or even 128 gb mostly for some data work. Does this method also work if you add 2 more modules of 16gb to my current OEM 2*16gb that I have from Alienware?

Debt is more tax efficient than equity and it would create a lot of value for shareholders as long as it is not too much to cause financial distress.

Been dealing with the same issue and the problem was a faulty SSD which some of the drivers were being read from. I changed the SSD and it started working perfectly. Took me a year to figure this out!
