Typically an ETF takes a management fee of 0.1-0.5% of assets per year. I expect this build-your-own-ETF to do the same, with fees on the higher side.

Well, one of the things that's changing is the creation of pro-natalism movements.... But there is reason to expect the trajectory to change. Currently the expectation is that, even if most people died out, there are very fecund (and v

I think you're making mountains out of molehills. If you believe all that then it sounds like you should invest 100% of your assets in systemically important bank stocks. If they have literally zero risk due to unending bailouts then y

Do you think that everyone who ever released a "bullets cure cancer in a petri dish" study didn't think of that? Whether or not they did, it's still a necessary part of the discussion.
