Evidence Quote

the index investing passive investing is that in essence, all that is is momentum investing because it's a you're buying index which is market cap weighted. So, the money that you're investing is going to the largest market cap companies. Those companies continue to grow. They drag the index higher... there's really two indexes. There's the Mag 7 and the sloppy 493.
