Nice class warfare. If you are looking for a Utopia with no hedgies or Jews, I susggest you move to Zimbabwe, and please, by all means, take your four daughters with you.

P.S. Most hedge funds are quite small. Mine manages money mostly for doctors who used to serve in the Air Force. And my entire life savings is invested in it. If you can explain to me what is unamerican or bloodsucking about helping people to be able to retire, please do. I get paid for the returns I generate because it takes both a lot of guts to start your own fund and a lot of smarts to generate alpha.

"every serious academic study..." ? what planet are you on? have you read a finance journal in the last 5 years?

passive indexing, to the extent that it works at all which is not that well, only works due to the efforts of those who work to actively discover prices.

keep indexing; I'll settle for my incentive allocation :-)
