DoingSomeThings

No. And yes.

I think there are more of you floating in the pews with you than you may expect. As I've grown older it's been hard to belong to a dogmatic religion. But I miss those same things you describe. I too attend on occasion for those exact reasons.

It was startling to me, however, to realize that I'm not alone. A large % of people there in the church find value even if they don't actually believe. And that's a strange comfort that let's me continue to appreciate the tradition without claiming the title.

Reminds me of that Black Mirror episode

I've followed Isaac Saul for months now and have been consistently impressed with his daily coverage. What did he do to lose you?

Given this as the reason, does that mean valuations will plummet once that supply slows down? If the best bet now is "things will keep growing while money is being pumped in", how does that balance out in the future?

This is a fascinating thought. I suppose the key is 'everyone'. Passive investing is premised on the idea that markets rise. And markets rise based on someone providing proper valuation to the stocks in the market. If there's no one doing the picking, does the system fall apart?

Possibly consumer, buy-and-hold investors are out-influencing Wall Street traders? I find that hard to believe, but it does seem like a long-term possibility.
