One might ask why the public markets would even offer this liquidity. One important answer is that they are forced to via index inclusion.

So if you know an index buyer who takes satisfaction in staying above fooled-by-randomness active traders, remind them that that they are now the designated unload zone for shares the privates don't want anymore.

I mean Anthropic doesn't have to 5000x to be a decent inclusion in an index fund. It can just go up 10% a year and the index purchasers will be happy.

And yet, active traders still can't beat indexes.
