Index Rule Changes Boost SpaceX/OpenAI IPOs at Passive Investors' Cost
Nasdaq and S&P providers eye rule tweaks to include SpaceX/OpenAI IPOs in major indices, funneling $20T passive funds into an AI bubble at everyday investors' expense.
Passive Indexing's Rise Enables Systemic Gaming
Index funds deliver diversification, auto-rebalancing, and low fees without stock-picking stress, growing the industry to over $20 trillion. This scale attracts exploiters: first 'slop ETFs' disguised passive safety to push high-fee, odd strategies—skippable by vigilant investors.
Dangerous Rule Shifts Target SpaceX and OpenAI IPOs
Worse threats emerge from Nasdaq and S&P Dow Jones Indices, providers of Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500. Proposed changes prioritize upcoming SpaceX and OpenAI IPOs, rigging inclusion to inject AI bubble hype into retirement accounts and broad passive holdings. Diligent screening won't help; these alter core benchmarks, harming most passive investors who own via 401(k)s or target-date funds.
